Manual Hub 4 Wheel drive Lock

tarheelfan_08 · 02-23-2009, 06:02 PM

I just ordered new wheels the other day and after sitting her thinking about it I got to wondering! My stock wheels have a Manual Hub 4 Wheel drive Lock! How am I going to be able to lock and unlock the wheels with these new wheels???

dont run the center caps and you should be good, what kind of wheels did you get?

tarheelfan_08 · 02-23-2009, 06:30 PM

DC-1 Black Machined

TRD4x4858 · 02-23-2009, 06:33 PM

yeah youll have to put the front ones one without the center cap to make it work

tarheelfan_08 · 02-23-2009, 06:36 PM

will that look good with just the back 2 on?? or should i leave all 4 off??

On my 2000 when I got new wheels, I just dremmeled out the center of the cap that covered the manual hubs. Turned out good.

When I changed wheels on my old 78 blazer, I found center caps that were open on the end made for locking hubs.

I don't think the model matters.....what you're looking for is the diameter of the hole in the center of the wheel and then order a center cap that fits in it. I had American Racing rims on my Blazer and found a Cragar open end cap that fit in the rim. Does the Tacoma locking hub not stick out? or is it more flush? (If that makes sense

)

tigerfan00 · 02-23-2009, 08:39 PM

those options should work for you...or you can always opt to just not run center caps in the front and hang on to the 2 in case the rear ones ever fall off or disappear

again though...my offer still stands if you cant make it work

because manual hubs are WAY better for an offroad truck...especially in the event of breakage

and since i know you like to keep yours looking pretty...you dont need them

tarheelfan_08 · 02-23-2009, 08:46 PM

Ha well you never know...I may want to go off roading! But we will c! Just dont count on anything because I got no clue how to get that stuff off and I am not paying someone lol!
