real quick -- benefits of AISIN, WARN, etc manual hubs?
hey,
just as the title says--
I did a little searching but didn't find an answer. (plenty of install/question threads)
What are the benefits of aftermarket manual hubs?
Are the OEM ones just not strong enough? If so, why do they need to be so strong?
I'm sure there's a quick easy answer.
Thanks!

I don't think there is any benefit to using anything other than the Aisins. The Warns sort of look cool, but then again not really. People on the boards here don't really talk about Aisin hubs ever breaking, they only get sticky sometimes if water gets in them or whatever.

very few of these trucks (older ones only) have auto hubs. add, and auto hubs are something totally different. with add the halfshafts are connected to the wheel, and turn all the time

I remember some people saying, the reason they switched to warns is that they would rather have the hub break rather then a r&p.
Other then that, and possibly cost issues to replace a busted aisin, there really isnt a reason to switch.
Aisins are better then any other hub available to toyota's but being so strong can be a downfall if you are running a very tall r&p like a 5.71 gear.
hope that helps.

I didn't read what the others wrote, but here goes. Aisin manual hubs were supplied by Toyota on all vehicles with manual hubs as opposed to Automatic Disconnecting Differential or the infamous Auto Hubs.
Aisin hubs are the strongest hubs available according to everything I've read, but they are more expensive new than others. The solution to this is to go to a junk yard or look on ebay/craigslist/yotatech classifieds for a used pair and rebuild them. By rebuild, I mean clean out the old grease, replace the gaskets and lube it back up. This way you can get THE BEST hubs available for less than $100 (I got mine for $70) and to my knowledge, hubs really wear out.

Getting more flex, and better speedo readings makes no sence.
When flexing you are usually offroad, where you are usually in 4wd thus hubs locked THUS the same as having ADD flanges..
im sorry but im calling that one out...
