anyone complete a manual hub conversion on a TJ/YJ with a locking front diff using the below listed kit

Alloy Usa 12195 Hub Conversion Kit.

If so how did the kit hold up when engaging your locker?

I’ve had the kit for 1.5 years but I have yet to replace my front locker pump on my LJ since the horrific damage. I just noticed, while attempting to determine the wheel studs used to make this kit, that it’s not for vehicles with locking diffs.

Go figure, just my rotten luck for apparently not paying attention when I bought it. Now I’m wondering what’s going to happen when I replace the pump.

I have not done it myself but have seen a few rigs that had it. Those hubs are fairly week and came on early Ford Rangers and Bronco IIs. It is an upgrade but will not take the punishment of heavy rock crawling.

I have seen a few broken hubs and honestly think the conversion is a waste of money.

Ditto what Bart said. I pieced one together about 9 years ago for my wife's YJ with B||/ RBV parts and she broke it on 31s unlocked.

That’s what I was afraid of. Sucks the only option is take it back off and go to stock. Thanks

If you already have it, I don't think I'd remove it. It is nice to free up the front axle when not in 4wd and should net a bit better mpg. I thought you were thinking about adding it. Just carry a spare hub or two. I believe they are easy to change.
