Aisin Hubs finally painted NOW INSTALLED
I finally got the paint from the dealer today. The dials match the color of the truck. I will be installing the hubs sometime this week.

I just finished my hubs over the weekend. The stainless screws are M6-1.00x16mm Hex Cap Screws and washers, in clear plastic bags with "HILLMAN" on them.

I agree with Cebby...I snapped one off and was stressing using the screw extractor to get it out, but all went well. EOD..Those black hubs look clean! nice work

AW1090: Thanks, I painted them with engine enamel and baked them for about an hour at 180-200 degrees. They turned out good, hopefully they will last a few years.

I did mine in the orig. red and black...I'm hoping they hold up. I did bake them, but only used the rustoleum spray. We'll see...hey, do you use the black covers over the outside? sorry, I don't know the correct term for them....the black center caps used with the ADD system

Andrew: No I did not reuse the hub covers as you would have to modify them by cutting the center portion out, which I didn’t want to spend time on. In my opinion, it would be cosmetic to put them back on and I prefer them off the front now. I didn’t redo my dials in red because I have a white 4Runner and all black looks better, plus I didn’t have any red paint.

HUBS ARE INSTALLED
Took me about 1hr to do and super easy. Went on a test drive around the block and i could feel the difference. I can feel it in the acceleration and even in breaking.Almost like im not towing an anchor behind me
