I think he's talking about the center caps for the wheels. They don't work with the manual hubs, so he cut out the center.

Didn't even think about that. Good eye for detail (or the obvious).

he cut the plastic wheel cover from the add equiped rig and cut them to fit his around his manual hubs.. but did such a good job it looks factory.

A 3.5" hole saw works better.

Clean up the rough edge with a Dremel. Takes maybe 5 min to do.

yep took 15 minutes and it looks a lot better than exposed bolts.

my neighbor gave me the idea. he said some trucks that come with manual hubs have them from the factory.

no cracks but i was missing one so i grabbed some from the junk yard a while ago. i also realized that if you pry that little tin logo off it actually says TOYOTA engraved into the plastic.
