    Where can I purchase the bend over type locking tabs that go on the six bolts for the locking hubs on the front hubs? I can't seem to find a source.

    Warn Industries. R&P did have some available, not sure if they still do. 503-557-8911.

    If you are having problems with the bolts coming loose, you can convert to studs.
    I have not used them but have talked to those who have and they say it fixed the problem. I dont know where to get the tabs you are speaking of, but I would say any of the companys that sell the hubs themselfs would carry them. When I installed new hubs they came with the tabs you are looking for. I would say those companys would sell the stud kits as well. Good luck.

    I really do not mean to hijack the thread, but why not a little blue locktite. I hate those bend over tab thingy's.

    I used blue locktite and they still came loose. Lockwashers (split type) also did not work. I converted over to studs and used locknuts & have not had a problem since then. This is on my dana 30.

    I can vouch for these stage8 fasteners. I used them on the axles on my 944 and have not had a problem since. Good stuff.

    Front lockout hub bolts.

    Haven’t had a problem since, and I’ve used my Jeep fairly hard this winter.

    Edit: sorry the pictures are so damn big. If I knew how to shrink them I would.
