Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / 4x4 Cars / July 2004hubs for series 80 landcruiser
this is proabley old stuff now but I've got a 1995 landcruiser fulltime 4 wheel drive.Can I fit freewheel hubs and if so any change in mpg an handeling. cheers Dave H I don't know where to get the hubs 4 your land-cruncher but manual hubs will definately increase mileage and probably help the handling........ on the same note, how does a vehicle with a full-time case not have manual hubs. The full-time cases i am familiar with turn the front driveshaft all the time, does the land-cruncher have a device that disconnects the front diff. from the driveshaft.? I'm a early model Chevy man and don't know too much about the new stuff (i know i dont like it) I run manual hubs on my 4x4 cuz it has a front locker and a part-time case.

With full time 4WD and an open ceter diff, you will not be able to move with the front hubs unlocked, since all the power will go to the front driveshaft. You'll need to lock the center diff at a minimum to make it work. You also should be able to use locking hubs from an '85 or earlier 4Runner or pickup (solid front axle). I run FJ-80 drive flanges on my axle to relace the manual locking hubs. Its a direct swap, hubs<->drive flanges. You should be to get the hubs from a junkyard. http://c-67-170-224-64.client.comcast.net/Photos/103_pana/P1030025.JPG http://c-67-170-224-64.client.comcast.net/Photos/103_pana/P1030026.JPG Same splines, same bolt pattern, etc. SignatureRoger |
