First Real Mod!! Aisin Hubs !
After a long 6 weeks of owning my runner and not doing any mods I finally installed the aisins I got from toyota parts dude. They were in great shape when I got them, but I pulled them apart just to see how they worked anyways. Cleaned them up, greased 'em and waited for my gaskets. Got those today. Pulled the ADD hub. Those cone washers leaped off like dogs on fire
Of course, I've been blasting the open hub for the past week with WD40. Everything went pretty smooth, followed a few of the tech articles available and the PDF file from Cory's site. I'm pretty much a non-wrencher, but this mod went great...no bashed knuckles even!
Just as everyone who's done this mod says the same thing: Feels great! Smoother steering, more roll, less resistance. Gotta check the mileage next. If you've got ADD and you're thinking about hubs, get the aisins from toyota parts dude.
No pics, there's plenty of write ups out there that look way better than how mine would.

toyota parts dude is a member of the forum. His name is Jason and you can reach him at CAMOTOY@prodigy.net.
He gets his hands on old toyotas, strips 'em and sells the good stuff, both here and on ebay.
good guy, fair, fast. Lots of happy customers in this group
