Hope they are the good warn hubs, can't remember which ones but I know some of the new ones have plastic components in them and are weaker than aisin fwh.

The ones fitted as OE to the 4U and 4U2 Vitaras are the 'dodgy' Warn hubs, they are marked 'Made in US' but have no manufacturer's markings.

Is the jimny in TOR the one you sold the editor? I'm sure it's your old one because it has a different wing,

Warn Samurai Hubs
Tired of those cheesy full time hubs that came on your vehicle from the factory? Get real and get BEEFY!!!! The Warn Premium Hub is a no-compromise hub designed for the hardcore off-roader or truck owner who will accept nothing less than the industry standard in performance. The all metal construction and ZA Alloy dial ensure years of reliable functioning. This dial requires a full 9/10ths of a turn to ensure positive engagement of the inner drive gear to the clutch ring. To make sure they stay engaged, Warn premium hubs use a thick internal wave spring and heavy dial detents.

Warn hubs will be used hard, so they are built to last. All Warn hubs are covered by a lifetime limited warranty. All Warn Premium Hubs feature: 9/10 turn dial for robust engagement/disengagement, Heavy detents for positive engagement, Wave spring technology increases reliability over standard coil springs, All metal construction, ZA Alloy dial with dual seals keep contaminants out, Dual Dial Seals keep contaminants out, All metal construction is strong and durable, ZA Alloy dial, Ensures years of reliable functioning, Heavy detents for positive engagement, Chrome plated, resists corrosion, Total Quality Controlled through tough OEM manufacturing requirements, Wave spring technology (Increase reliability over standard coil springs).

Warn hubs are far and away the strongest and best aftermarket hub for your vehicle and a super simple installation!
