I've seen popular opinion lead to Aisin, some say strength, others just say price. But I don't do major hardcore off roading in my runner, and the WARN's I had on my fj40 (which I beat to hell ) Worked great.

The thing is just breaking down prices:

Aisin's:
Hubs $50 (w\shipping)
Rebuild Parts $10-20 (if needed)
Aircraft Solvent $10
Paint $10
TOTAL: $80-100

WARNS:
Hubs $80
(online and maybe cheaper locally with some connections)

I could buy nice shiny Warns and bolt them on no fuss for close to same price, maybe cheaper.

So my question is there something about the Aisin's that make them worth a little more elbow grease?

 

Warn:

Premium ones have a lifetime warantee. Non-premium, 1 year warantee I think. You must turn them 3/4 turn to engauge or disengauge. No cone washers to deal with at service time.

Aisin:

Toyota chose these to go on the old reliable trucks. Nearly indestructable, no need for a warantee. 1/4 turn to engauge. Cone washers tend to rust in place and can be a pain to work with later.

Its a push. Either one will work fine.

 

Aisin don't stick out as far - usually fit better with the stock wheels and center caps.
