Manual locking hub

I'd like to see some AISIN's...

 

this looks interesting... has it been installed on any Tacoma trucks?

 

Sub'd

 

Believe it or not, this kit is made entirely of genuine Toyota parts (from different applications of course), besides the Warn hubs and a dust seal spacer. Yes tinker2, a different style axle nut is used and does hold the wheel bearing assembly together.

 

How much moola ??

 

Taczilla, I won't know an exact price yet until I get a cost from the machine shop.

 

Mechanical 2wd low...hmmm

 

Thanks @Sideline Hero , This system looks very promising for sure !

 

I can vouch for the machinist quality
World class machine shop.

 

More power in street mode. Then lock em in for beast mode! Keep us posted.

 

IM Interested 2014 Taco

 

Well if you need a tester in Colorado sign me up. Looks freaking awesome and looking forward to see where this goes

 

Thanks for all the positive feedback and interest! I only got into researching and developing it after I bought my 14 4Runner and was wondering why nobody has made a kit yet. Tried posting a short vid of it on the truck after I installed it, but it doesn't let me. Gonna try figure it out so maybe you can get a better idea of it actually working.

 

Upload the video to YouTube and post a link to that

 

Pricing wise it would be a no brainier if you happen to had bad wheel bearings and needed to replace your axles anyways haha

 

Must suck to have a second gen, hahaha!

 

seriously... but why, Outside of 2 low, which can be done by a simple wiring mod. MPG gains are minimial and would take probably 100-200k miles to offset the cost of the kit. More parts to go wrong, and now i gotta get out of my truck to put it in 4wd....

bout the only thing is less wear on the CV's. But even then its minimal unless you are running real high angles.


Dont get me wrong its definitely super cool, and i kinda always wished i had manual hubs like ye ole 1st gen trucks. But its not anywhere near necessary.

 

Steering effort, mpg, and driveline wear.

Also, there's no electronic gizmos or vacuum nonsense. Everything is mechanical. Either it's in, or it's not.

And I don't think 2lo would be a good idea....
