    so I saw my buddy switch from "Automatic hubs" to manual warn hubs and it made a big difference in vibes and the way the truck drove, as well as reducing wear and tear. So my question is does anyone know where I can get a similar product, I did a search on here as well as Google and found nothing for the second gen Tacoma, I just want manual locking hubs and I doubt I'm the only one.

    I have vibes at any speed below 85 my highway vibes kinda come and go I always have vibes but sometimes my passenger seat shakes violently like a good 3-4 inch oscillation at the headrest the floor shakes my shifter shakes in tune with the seat, these vibes are most noticeable around 70 mph, I believe those are caused by my drive shaft, I plan on having a strait shaft made to fix that. I have the take off shudder and the under 30 mph vibes as well. I feel a lot less vibes in the wheel which is where I assume most of the benefits of locking hubs will come from, but I still want them.

    The conversion from auto to manual hubs in a second gen would be VERY cost ineffective. You would need to change out a LOT of parts from the hubs to the bearings and the CV shaft as well. Not trying to discourage you, but I promise you will spend way too much money getting all the custom built parts.

    and you figure your driveshaft vibes would be lessened by manual hubs ?
