Hub update. Got my replacement ones in and it appears the bearing on the hub failed. Swapped it out and greased it up with some better grease than what it came with and the noise is gone and locks and unlocks fine. The noise was like hitting the rumble strips and more of a growl and went away when i locked them because that bearing stopped moving when the hub was engaged. Now as soon as my Lokka comes in I'm ready to go.

Looks like it's a dedicated wheeler now, if it wasn't already! Hopefully the hydrolock didn't hurt the motor. As an aside, I had no idea what RAC was, and was therefore confused until now as to why you were excited to take it to the rent-a-center.

It's interesting that over there you guys seem to always mount your CB/UHF antenna on the rear comer of the car. Do you have laws against putting it on the front or in the field of vision? Over here in Aus they get fitted almost exclusively to the front on a bracket on the bullbar. Maybe we're just too lazy over here to route the cable all that way under the carpet

So the hubs that I purchased were some unbranded ones off ebay but I've seen posts from Hawairish that they should be fine. Maybe just bad luck is all. I will be sure to inspect the next set well. Thanks for the tip on the bumper. I will look into my options. Trying to avoid a rough ride is important since this is my daily. And the Lokka is in the mail on its way to me right now haha.
