    yup, i got those on the willys. there are two cylinders attached to those bars on the inside. on half of the cylinder has been removed so that when in 2wd the axle side can rotate without causing an interference. the axle side is another cylinder with four little cylinders cut out on the edge of it... so when engaged the inside and outside cylinders nest inside eachother and the front axle is engaged. clear as mud yet??

    there's probably a write-up on it somewhere, but i don't reall know where it is.

    Aren't those Cutlass hubs??? Not so wierd or uncommon.

    Just not made anymore like Warn style hubs are.

    They're pretty strong as I recall.

    Doh! That's right, I didn't think that Cutlass hubs sounded right.

    I had Dualmatics on my Pickup that Sandhill got when I bought it. :oops:
