Hub installation
Need to change both hubs on the front axle. Should be in the next day or two in the mail. Plannig to go offroading this weekend though. So should I change them out before or after? Can't decide.

Don't want to get the new ones contaminated by all the mud, dirt, or water you could be facing on the trails.

Why not change them before? You wouldn't want your wheeling trip to be interrupted by a broken hub

depends on how bad they are now.
obviously if they need changing, you should change them out first. as said, you don't want a bad hub to ruin your weekend, or anyone in your group for that matter.
don't worry about getting that shiny part dirty, it's gonna happen anyways.
you should always keep your rig in good shape before you hit the trails.
fix it and enjoy your weekend.

change them before you wheel not worth breaking down because of a bad hub. They are sealed so the dirt mud and water will not bother them anyway

It'll be a while after this weekend before wheeling again. Should I wait to prevent the added stress on the new hubs?
