Is it still possible to do the manual hub conversion with stock toy rims, or do you need aftermarket wheels. Does anyone have this setup?

What do you prefer: Aisin or Warn?

 

Denk, those wheels came factory on many '86 and on up IFS trucks & 4Runners, and many also came factory with the Aisin hubs with those wheels.
Not a problem at all.

I have pics of Todd's '88 4Runner and Jim's '89 truck with Aisin hubs and SR5 wheels on my website.

 

The stock rims just look a little funky without the stock, plastic hub covers. But you can do what Victor did...he used a Dremel to hollow the top out so the stock hub covers would work on his manual hubs.

Me? I got a pair of factory metal hub covers made for the manual hubs on Ebay for $6.

 

You got pics? not sure what you mean by hollowing out the center....

 

Not a close-up, but Jim just left the outer cap part off.

Hollowing out the center means cutting the center with a 3 1/2 inch hole saw to get the center piece out, then file the edges to smooth it out. Here's another picture taken by yours truly.

Well, now that I have read everything there is to read on this conversion, i feel pretty confident that I can do this mod. Lots of great info here, thanks.

 

I have stock wheels and i think my hubs look fine!
