For the odd times i get off road i'll shoulder it until i fit some manual hubs. This is the first issue i've had with them to be fair. If it becomes any more of an issue, i'll take some time and check them out.

If it becomes any more of an issue I'd take some money and time and throw them out replacing them with manual or fixed front hubs from an SJ or Vitara and use Martin's spacers or cut down the bearing nut to suit.
I couldn't be doing with the auto hubs and replaced them asap. They are OK when they are working but a pain in the ar*e when they're not.
Some people run them OK for ages without an issue. I think it possibly is to do with how often they are used.
