I have a set of Aisin lockouts that came off of an 87 4runner. They work perfectly, and come with all hardware and cone washers. I want $90 for them shipped.

 

dang, why am i so poor!?

 

what are manual locking hubs good for? I think it would be nice to not have to get out of your truck to engage 4wheel drive.

 

Where's the Wabbit.....he's been swooping on everybody's hubs lately...

 

they essentially disconnect your wheel from your front driveshafts (CVs, and in turn, your differential and front driveshaft). this results in less wear on your CVs and it could be argued that you get better gas mileage (by a minute amount) by not having to waste power turning your CVs. the main draw, however, is the less wear on your CVs. it's only annoying to get out to engage 4wd if you aent expecting to have to and youre in a real muddy or snowy or rainy place.

the ADD in most of our 4wd trucks (3rd gen and up, dont know about 2nd gen) disconnects the front drive shaft at the differential, so your CVs are still spinning into the differential 100% of the time, 4wd or not. also, ADD is just one more thing to break and then you wont have 4wd.

 

Would you ship to Canada? I guess they'd work on my 91' eh? I can pm my postal code if you can find out the shipping$.

 

Another advantage - on some yotas if you break a cv or some other part on one side of the front axle - you can unlock that hub and at least have 3WD to get out. With auto hubs you have either 2WD or 4WD no in between. So if you break something you HAVE to go back to 2WD.

 

This would only work if you had a front locker. An open front diff would leave you with only 2wd in this situation.
