Did you keep the hub bolt same bolt/thread as the OEM? Only asking cause those bolts will also screw into the end of the axle shaft.... so like if you needed towing... you can use that bolt to grab and pull rear axle shafts.... then tower can just lift tow from the front.

Oh....... wait.... with that in mind...... will this hub allow for pulling the rear axle shafts out and roll on back wheels?

The adapter is bolted to the inner wheel hub with the same size bolts. 3/8” 16. So yes it will fit the axle. The aluminium hub cap
is bolted to the hub with 4 10/32 stainless Allen screws. Yes you can pull the cap and remove the axle for whatever reason.
Looks like the hubs will be done Monday and off to heat treat!

I have cleaned up this thread since it's turning into a classified ad. Or really more of a vendor related ad. It's ok to discuss the technical aspects of this. But there needs to be a ad posted in the correct area when it comes to the sales/marketing of this.

Second time I've had to clean up the thread about sales/purchasing. I'm sorry, but 3rd time and it gets locked.

Ok everyone, please don’t ask about purchasing on the general forum. It’s ok to ask technical questions, how parts are made etc.
PLEASE USE PM for purchase questions. I will post a for sale/ classified add when things are ready…..

The FMTV is AWD and if you were to "unlock" a hub the truck wouldn't move without putting it in MODE. I don't really see a use case for that feature - are you thinking of that combined with some sort of transmission reprogramming or a different transmission altogether?
