Hey guys i was in the junkyard the other day and came across a v6 4 runner with the automatic locking hubs. Im just wondering if i would be able to put them on my truck which has the manual locking hubs on it. They look like they would bolt right up but i doubt that all i would have to do is bolt the hubs on. Has anyone ever looked into this before?

they would bolt up but why would you want them? I know it is more convenient but they are know to be weaker and are more liable to break with larger tires.

Dont mess with the auto hubs. They are nice and all for lazy ppl but in the end you will reget ever putting them on there.
One question..why would you want auto hubs?

I dont mind getting out and lockin my hubs but since i saw them i just thought if they were cheap from the yard i would put them on there for the hell of it hah.. it does make sense that they would be weaker and not reliable with the big tires, i didnt even think of that...

the hubs themselves are usually stronger since it is a drive slug. its the crap in the diff is whats unreliable

ADD replaced auto locking hubs as far as i know. Auto locking hubs use a clutch in the hub that engages the hub when it gets foward input from the axle. So once you put it into 4wd and move foward they lock and wont unlock until you reverse. |
