    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???

    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.

    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 :D )

    The links were for photo reference.

    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 :thumbsup:

    because manual hubs are WAY better for an offroad truck...especially in the event of breakage :D and since i know you like to keep yours looking pretty...you dont need them :)

    the easiest thing to do is first see if they fit without the center caps...if they dont we'll go from there....
