bump. i'd like to know too.

 

just thought of this thread and post...

a 3.5" hole saw does the job nicely on the original caps.

 

I thought about the hole saw, but the saw was about the same cost as the centers I found on e-bay. I haven't run them much though. The wheels are too small for the tires I run. I haven't bit the bullet to have them converted to bead locks like you. What did those cost you BTW?

 

i didn't even think to check ebay for them, but eh.

the beadlock conversion was a little under $1000 at OMF.

 

I promised I would post up when we had a new kit, and As of Today, we have one more Manual Hub kit available.

I cant remember who had called the next available kit, so alas I will have to say first come, first serve on this kit.

PM me if interested. Thanks.

 

i checked out manual hubs on a junked taco today, they wanted $150 a side. $300 for both, thats insane. i was going to do the swap but i'll wait till a cv breaks.

 

for just the hubs only? thats sorta high.

 

just for the hubs, they are only 96 a piece from toyota new.

 

96 for the whole complete hub? I dont know about that...ORS lists them for $510 Right here I cant imagine they would mark it up $300+ dollars over what the DEALER wants.

 

113 each at darcars toyota, and i get 15% off. so right at 96

 

yea, but like I said, its not for a complete hub. Or, they are quoting you for this:

 

I bet that piece is the $113 piece

Or i might be wrong, tho i dont think so. The dealer may call one thing a "hub" but I think you and I know in our heart of hearts (lol) what a locking hub is.

 

not according to the diagram they pull up on the computer

 

hmm. well, then thats a great deal lol. I wonder why ORS would charge so much then?

 

This kit is still available. Cant tell me no one out there is interested in it!

 

Has anyone been able to do this swap and retain ABS?

 

If you use your parts, IE Tone rings and ABS spindles, you can switch the guts around and use ABS. However, it requires some press work and you have to replace the bearings. Its not hard to do, you just have to have the tools.
