I have an '86 4Runner with auto hubs. I was told that all you had to do to convert them to manual is just unbolt the auto and bolt on the manual hubs, is this true or not? any help would be appreciated.

you should read this http://www.4x4wire.com/toyota/tech/autohub/
You can also use the "SEARCH" option on this site for tons of great info on this subject.

 

Thanks for the info

 

i didn't think 86's came with auto hubs

 

He means ADD Hubs.

 

86 didnt have add, that wasnt till 2nd gen. he probably does have the dreaded auto locking hubs.

I have AUTO hubs, and after reading the info on 4x4wire, i am not sure what to do? thanks for everyones help

 

hey m&s!

just follow the steps outlined in the above article, it shouldnt take you much more than an hour to an hour & 1/2 to complete the switch over. try and find the aisin locking hubs, they are the ones you want.

I have the aisin hubs already, i just need the 4nuts, 2 washers and the 2 clips that the article talks about, right?

 

you got it! while you are at it, get a haynes or chilton repair manual for yourself. use the search button for ' factory service manual ' or similar, there are a couple members that have them and could send you the necessary info if you pm them.
