new wheels

so ive been shopping around and the majority of what ive been finding have closed centercaps. would that be an issue with the front hubs? mine have an auto or lock selection so would i be right thinking this wont be an issue?

the caps will cover it, depends what wheel u go with but they are only held on by 2 alen screws which i keep a alen key in my glove box so when i need to put it in 4wd it takes 2 seconds to take the caps off

thats what i was thinking i always have a small amount of tools with me anyways. but doesnt the auto feature mean that the hubs lock when i put it in 4wd? or is that just a free mode?

not sure mine only have "free" and "lock" on them....but im pretty sure with the auto setting u can still put it in 4wd when its in auto, i wouldnt be the best person to ask tho about that as i dont have the type of hub u do...id just carry a allen key in the glovebox just incase lol most wheels will come with one

As mentioned previously, I also have my front hubs covered. When I need to lock them in, I grab the allen wrench out of the toolbox and 30 seconds later, i'm ready to go.
