If you are planning on wheeling this truck, you should DEFINITELY use manually locking hubs.

because auto-lockers activate and release when you back up and then go forward - like maneuvering around trees other obstacles - they can unlock at inappropriate times on the trail.

Also, autolocking hubs are not recommended for vehicles that are flat-towed  (http://www.acksfaq.com/TS_5-01_07319.htm (http://www.acksfaq.com/TS_5-01_07319.htm))

I hope that this helps!
