FOR SALE: Custom Hub Tool for Aisin Free Wheel Hubs (Tacoma, 4Runner, and Many Other OEMs)

custom designed/3d-printed hub tools for manual aisin 4x4 hubs. helps you turn your hubs on icy days -- or just when your hubs are a bit sludgey -- instead of using pliers that would otherwise scuff up your hub keys.

hub tool will work on all trucks with aisin-branded manual locking hubs. tool is printed out of PET-G and will endure harsh cold/hot climates. tool features sun visor clip to keep you from losing it in your truck. slots in the clip assembly grant you access to the two 3/32" socket screws if you decide to use the hub tool clip-less.

$25 shipped, from pittsburgh, 15219. i accept payment through venmo or paypal. if you feel more comfortable going down a more corporate route, you can purchase on my etsy store: https://www.etsy.com/shop/tacoplastics/

 

That's a really cool idea! Looks like you can probably use it while wearing gloves, too.

 

i appreciate that!

the whole 2-years-of-covid thing really brought unto me an evolving sense of humor/desire to make weird objects for the trucks we love so much...

 

Keep it up, that's how cool stuff gets invented.

 

Yep we need some MESO type stuff for 1st Gens, the red-headed stepchildren. I don’t have locking hubs but this is pretty cool.

 

working on it <3 be sure to check out my other stuff in my etsy as well. there are also some cross postings (console organizers/clock cubbies/AC knobs/lots of weird little things.

 

There was a guy that 3d printed some storage for the center console and then completely dropped the idea. Have not heard anything from him since but if you could recreate it, I'm sure a few of us would be interested.

now that's cool!

at first glance i wonder if custom 'hangars' (i'm not sure what to call them but you know what i mean...) would have to be made for each center console design. I know the M/T trucks have a flat edge on the passenger side of the shifter trim, but i've also seen some A/T trucks with slight rounding and tapering. i'd have to think about it. that said it's a brilliant design with using 3D printing only where you need it... and available materials elsewhere.

here's the thread where i posted some of my other stuff, if you're interested in organization solutions for the center console. i still have yet to get to the shifter bezel/trim area... but that guy's stuff is RAD! thanks for the share.

Have a bench seat so that wouldn't work for me but I checked out your etsy after seeing this post. This custom hub tool may very well be in my future though. Just got manual hubs

 

Awesome and glad to hear! Just Pm me when you’re interested and I can set you up.

 

Just renewed inventory and have many extras -- let me know if you're interested
