Picked up some hubs from an 86 IFS truck for my 92 4runner, heres some progress of how they're turning out! I didn't get any pictures of me cleaning the base but its all nice, shiny aluminum now.













Like I said, they'll be going on my 92 4runner. theres 2 primer coats, 3 black on the hub face, 3 red on the dial and 5 coats of clear baked onto them both. Gonna see if that holds up

All paint products I used were Rustoleum.

 

sweet. good job. I'm still debating whether I want to put AISIN hubs on or keep the Warns that are on it now.

 

looks good man. 5 cota of clear? holy sheet

 

I misplaced the ball bearing on one of the hubs... but I just ordered a set from WabFab. Also ordered a Optima Battery mount from him too guess we'll see how things turn out whenever I get the goods!

 

yeah dude, they're glosssaayyyy hahaha

 

look good man , how about a little more info on the " Baked" part..

 

I just bought some cheapy heat gun at home depot, sprayed the clear, and hit it with the heat gun kinda "baking" it on. it worked well. and it appears pretty durable.

 

got any extra paint?
i wanna do mine.
too bad wf is the only one who sells the bearing and spring

 

Are you gonna razor blade the letters? I assume you aren't since you already clearcoated em. The paint looks really good.

 

those look nice should hold up with that many coats haha

 

Yeah, I bought 2 cans of the dark red and i think i have 4 of the gloss black haha.

Nah, I didn't bother with that. it looks cooler, but I just wanted to get them done, and looking nice. they look just fine the way they are i'd say.

haha yeah they better hold up. they almost feel plastic because of all the coats of clear on it.

 

cool. ill have to put that on my list of things to do. that will make my truck and black wheels go BLING BLING BLING

 

you gonna paint them all black? lol

 

no i wanna reapint the dials red and the outter ring black

 

my old hubs look pretty now!! give me a call and come hangout sometime

 

lol wait till you see how shiny the base is... loved how those turned out. i just gotta wait till i get my order from wab fab then i'll finish it all.

 

i might do it on monday

 

still waiting on my springs and ball bearings :/

 

someone wanna explain to me how the outer C clip on the back of the hub comes off?

 

Heres some pictures of my manual hubs finally assembled. Thanks to 93yotaSR5, he assembled them in a meer 10-15 minutes instead of having me thumb through internet instructions. lol
