So, thanks to WabFab, I was able to find an article on 4x4wire.com about switching from Auto (where you have to reverse in order to unlock your hubs) to manual hubs. But, that article mentions using Warn hubs, not Aisin. Is there a difference? Also, I found a list of toyota part numbers on the internet, but its 5 different parts and that info does not co-incide with the info that was provided on the 4x4wire website. So does anybody have experience with this and have correct part numbers?

I'm sure that the WabFab conversion kit is a good deal, however I work for a Dealership company that owns a toyota dealership where I can get parts at near cost. So, I rather get them the same day for cheaper.

It tells exactly what you need to get in the 4x4wire article and tells you what to remove and what to add. I just looked at it.

Well I had one of the Toyota parts guys email me a diagram of the manual hubs, and Im having trouble distinguishing the "lock washer" from the "flat washer". Do you have part numbers?

You need 2 claw washers, 2 star washers and 4 54mm nuts.

It says all of this in the tech article and even has pictures. You are removing the auto clutch crap and replacing it with what Toyota put in there to use manual hubs.

Today I did my left side. It really wasn't bad at all but the instructions weren't that helpful. I think I'm going to make a write up or something so that people who get stuck in my situation don't have the same problem. I messed around with the hub for like 25 minutes trying to figure out what "spring" it was telling me to compress to get the torx screws. Anyway. It was a good time.

Look forward to the writeup. thank you in advance.
