Just watched that yesterday.
I didn't realize that someone had already posted it before me. The other thread I just seen this morning.

The vendor is getting something of a bad rep already, but if these are strong enough to deal with realistic loads of 37”+ tires, etc. it will be a good upgrade. I’ve run Spyntec locking hubs on my JK since 2010 and the feature is great for on highway driving. In the case of Spyntec the cost doesn’t work, you have to change rear axle shafts, wheels (5.5” bolt pattern) and downgrade to D30 size front ujoints (or go RCV). In this guy’s setup none of that is needed.

Other thread has already jumped the shark by people that either did not look at the whole video or only watched part of it.

I figured that from what I read there. Some have no comprehension regardless of what they read, seen, or heard.

Oh, I wasn't suggesting that someone else had posted, just that I had also seen it. I simply commented to keep your post on top for traffic.

Seems like a good option for those with no FAD, but the rest of us already have the axle disconnected in 2wd. Adding more potential failure points and making it so I have to get out and lock in the hubs every time I need 4wd even if it's only a 20' section where water is crossing what amounts to nothing more than a dirt road offers no benefit to me.
