"OEM Mitsubishi Manual Locking Hub Assemblies"
Just ordered a set for myselfAnyone have a write up of how they install on a 2nd gen? Do I need any additional parts from the dealer?
No additional parts needed unless you lose a snap ring.
It's really simple to install. Take the old flanges off. Pull the snap ring off.
Ready the new hubs by taking the outer caps off. Install the hubs paying careful attention to alignment. (It won't let you miss up) put snap ring back on axle. Install outer cap. (These will strip very easy, they only need a few lbs of torque.)
Be sure to use lock tight and gasket sealer. It may be a good time to re grease the bearing while you're in there.

These hubs are good quality and I've put them through the ringer a few times. They've held up nice. I do still carry the stock flanges just in case though.
what are the advantages to using these, versus a stock setup on a Gen 2?
