I already have the manual hubs but if anyone needs a set I can go snag a set from the yard I frequent they had lots of the IFS front toyotas with manual hubs. In fact right when I walk in the yard a whole ifs front end with the frame rails is laying there with manual hubs plus a pile of axles.
Oh BTW keep your ADD flanges you never know you might frag a hub one day (I haven't heard anyone doing this yet) but it's good insurance if you needed one so you have 4wd on the trail.

 

Hey guys, Thanks for all the posts. Really made the job easy. The brass punch was the key Anyways I got them on now. Didnt paint them, but they still look alright. Cleaned them up quite a bit though. I put some pictures up of the truck finally. Now time for the 150 Watt KC Daylighter installation. Dont want to hit any moose on the highway up here.

 

Glad to hear they were an easy install for you. I need to make a trip out to the Toyota yard and get me a pair. I would like to find a pair that I don't need to rebuild. Some that I can just bolt up and go. I'll have to see what I can find.

 

Good deal Tyson. Now for a question about the manual hubs. I've heard bad things about putting an automatic locker up front with a daily driver. Would the manual hubs help make a difference with daily driving and a front auto locker? I'd probably get an EZ or lockright for the front.

 

As easy as it is to rebuild, I would highly suggest never getting a used set and not rebuilding them. If you are that against rebuilding, then buy them new. Or, I would be glad to sell you a rebuilt set!

 

Brand new Aisin hubs are over $500
At least last time I checked.

 

Yeah, they were not that hard to rebuilt either. With that article floating around here on Aisin hubs, it was really easy, step by step job. Take apart, clean, grease, reassemble. Not to hard. I love having the option of unlocking my hubs. haha the Toyota Stealership here wanted $425 for a set of new Aisin Hubs. I never did paint them though. I should have.
I put a picture up on my homepage I think. Let me know if the homepage link works.

 

In that case I would get him a rebuilt set for 250.
