bro! I’ve got a 1996 tacoma extended cab flat bed dually that I’m working on… I couldn’t have found a better video:)
Finished my jeep this morning. Get to watch this one guilt-free.
I took my samurai hubs apart the other day and thought I was doin the most by shooting them with brake parts cleaner and putting some more grease in them.... thanks for bringing me back to Earth
This is art. Thank you for showing me how to do stuff I will never venture to do because I don’t have your knowledge or skills. Though I thoroughly enjoy and appreciate watching you make this look easy.
Thanks man! Its honestly not too hard to do!
FYI - to get those cone washers out it's better to tap on the stud rather than on the hub body. They will pop right out real easy. Plus it keeps the body from getting banged up. I just use the head of a long bolt and a mallet.
.. agreed.. that way has worked for me many times 🤙
Yep, hitting on the end of the stud is the way to go. I bought a brass rod and slightly hollowed out one end. This hollow locates the drift on the end of the stud and the brass prevents damage to the steel stud.
@@stevendouglas6593 thanks mate.. tomorrow I’m making myself a pocketed drift just like you describe.. great tip!!👍
Bro I have mushroomed my studs cause I didn’t use a brass rod so now I’m in the process of a full rebuild lol
FYI for future reference. To get the cone washers to pop out, there's no need to hit that nice shiny housing with a hammer, or force a screwdriver or chisel between the hub and the locking housing. It's likely to get damaged by this technique and then you'll have trouble with the seals. Of course one could sand or mill the surface flat again, but there's a better way....
The right way, which causes zero damage to any of the parts: take a hammer and brass drift and hit the end of the studs that hold the cone washers. A few hits and they'll loosen right up. Grab them out with some pliers. WheeliePete demonstrates (czcams.com/video/3djqDPYI9tM/video.html). I've done it a couple times works perfect.
WheeliePete also has an excellent vid about rebuilding the Aisin manual hubs (czcams.com/video/W78RkF1mUOE/video.html).
Amazing work. The attention to detail in making those hubs look that killer. If you wanna take my 3rd gen and get creative with it would love to see what you could do to a modern truck.
Thank you!!
Totally awesome! On mine, the center dials are red. Nice job, looks killer! Thanks for the fun 👍
keep on producing educational and entertaining repair vids man..
I just bought a 97 Tacoma right before you started this build so hopefully it gives me some motivation to clean up my truck😂
Your attention to detail is next level bro, and I thought I had the ocd bad.
Thanks!!
Bruh…I am a really OCD guy and watching you do this is really satisfying to me and also saddening bc I don’t have the resources or time you have to do mine anymore. I need a few clones…lol
Awesome build going here!!
Hah thanks man!!
Love the quality of your work Austin. I live in Australia and am currently doing up an 1988 LN106 Hilux and your vids are always really helpful. Cheers
Super SATISFYING
Amazing work
Keep it up
Thanks!!
I rebuilt mine in the 90s, and dropped the ball on the spring on my carpet! Took me an hour with a magnet to find it.
Nice color combo bro. I would have done red on the inner hub with the black outer hub but overall nice build bro she is coming along nicely
Terrible laburo! algun dia de estos voy a ver si lo hago con mi SR5, gracias x el video!
Gunna refer to this when I manual hub swap my ADD truck
Perfect! Hope i can help!!
My 1998 pickup has red centers, I guess they changed colors at some point. I always learn some little trick on your videos. Using the grease to pick up the detent ball was a good way to make sure not to drop it. I have one of my hubs that is hard to engage. Now I have the confidence to take it apart and grease it up. Maybe some rattle can. The zinc looked great with the black/gray combo.
@BW I've learned even more.
Man I just picked up Back to the future truck sr5 efi solid axle x-cab and it’s black. Rough shape going to chop it up and take all the good parts off of it. Nice work yotas👍.
All ways watching sir austin
perfect like that! to be continued.
Nice job man looks grate . 👍
Nice work bro.
You should swap a 6ft/bigger bed onto it. I love the double cabs but dislike the tiny beds they come with. As usual, nice work
That would be cool!
Looking super tight 👌
Curious what all you replaced during this? I assume the o-ring/gaskets, looks like the bolts were new as well?
Did you use all the same springs, detent ball, cone washer, etc?
Thanks again. Awesome work!
The beautiful truks
❤️
Need these on my 99 4Runner🤘🤘
Love the video!!!
Where do you get the powder coating gun? Thanks!!!
Smooth
Very nice 👌 👍 👏 💥 😉
Isn’t there a gasket that goes inside that outer plate ?
Yea i just ordered a pair brand new off walmart for 43 bucks for a set
The part at 2:05 that you have your finger through. When assembled is there supposed to be any play in that? Or is that a sign I should replace my hubs?
Very little play is acceptable

Congratulation !
Good !
Possioble translation for português e ( Brasil )
Tank very much !
👏👍🙏❗
Am like the video
what about the gasket?
Do you just work on your own vehicles? I live nearby and would like to find someone I can trust with your attention to detail to work on my Toyota Tacoma & Toyota 4Runner.
Yes i just work on my own trucks!
👍
Hello I’m Sidiky Keita I come from Mali 🇲🇱 I’m regularly your videos so the custom series I’m not a mechanic I’m just a passionate I’ve followed your modification on the Toyota Hilux right now I bought exactly the same without the engine I put an engine occasion, I went one by one between garages to explain my ideas a In short, I wanted to know if I can find an address for you to send the result. Forgive I translated my messages into English. I only understand French. ☺️
The gasket??????
work at the top +++++++++++++
The hubs are begging for red touch up on the lettering and arrows.
hello, please give the VIN of your Tacoma, I want to remake my Prado 90 as a hub
What is the tape you were using for powder coating
I’ll throw a link in the description
U missed a very important part on how the locking gear and springs go together. Most will mess up that part.
well don't keep it a secret !
And 3rd
Hi
