100% of the time? more wear and tear, right? Is this just until you can replace it?

Ah Hah! That makes sense! I wish I could find locking hubs for my Yota, but I keep getting told it can't be done on my year model....

I also have these and can confirm. Though they are a bit stiff without a load, but they feel great with some weight on them. I loaded a 7k lbs trailer on my truck the other day and it hardly squated and rode pretty nice.

What year?



My fiance is so smart. I told her: Locking hubs this week with cheap JY parts! She replies: Shouldn't you fix what's wrong with it first (the gauges/dome light issue)? Me: .... Yea. You're right haha I guess so.

Lolz. The question from this is, can you be learned of this realization?


There is thread on Pirate where a guys listed all part numbers and details for that same mod. It might be more detailed for you.

Yes, but they are not near as much fun to pester!

I painted the bumper strip on the front, and the big plastic piece on the tailgate, and the rear bumper step pads...also the air dam in the front. Used duplicolor bed paint, love this stuff. Also fixed the drivers side window switches (switch did not operate the passenger side window), took the switches apart and cleaned the contacts. Replaced the interior lights with LEDs (broke the overhead map light doohickie trying to remove it, before realizing the lenses on the map lights pop out). Rotated the tires, found out I need brake shoes/pads. Painted the drums and calipers. Pressure washed, then undercoated the truck, 4 cans of rubberized undercoating. Washed, then waxed the entire truck. Then took pics with my Z...I'm loving this truck...
