We've been shipping these for a bit but I never had the chance to get them photographed and introduced. To my knowledge we are the only company globally offering a 7x Series kit designed specifically for those models that have Electric Locking Hub's. I know many delete the E-Hubs in favor of traditional AISIN hubs (and we can help with that conversion too!) but some prefer to keep everything stock and thus we assembled these kits with all of the correct seals, bearings and gaskets and all from high-quality Japanese and OE suppliers.
So if you have one of these:

Based on some user feedback and an E-Hub axle we are currently rebuilding here in the shop, we are adding more parts to the FA7X97E kits. They will soon include the Torx retainer screws and the spin ring too!

We are seeing more and more worn/damaged spindles during the knuckle rebuild and/or wheel bearing overhaul process. Spindles should be inspected for wear at several locations:
1. Damaged or worn threads, this will prevent proper pre-load on the wheel bearings and can allow major failure.
2. Damaged bearing surfaces at the inner and outer wheel bearing position. If you can feel it with your fingernail, it's likely too much.
3. Damaged seal surface area, check for pitting or excessive groove.
4. Damaged spindle bushing/bearing, check for excessive wear, missing rollers, etc.
As such, we are stocking more and more spindle components from OE Toyota, High Quality Japanese manufactures and more. We carry complete spindles and replacement spindle bushings and bearings too!

It would be awesome if your 40 series kits included or offered additionally gaskets for the Warn style locking hubs. As alot of us have these instead of aisin hubs. I know the story about these being dealer installed and not oem but it doesn't change the fact that's what we have. Thanks, Bill

Many have used the AISIN hub face gasket on the Warn's with very minor trimming, I know we've done that here in the shop. If I could find a suitable aftermarket gasket we could absolutely include them. Honestly we pack 100% of these kits here in the shop so it's easy for us to have a note to add the gaskets for Warns. Great suggestion, I'll work on it!

Are you rocking the factory Toyota Electric Hubs on the front of your 7x or 8x Series Land Cruiser? If so our knuckle kit offerings have you covered including the often worn slip-ring and the torx retainer screws that are often In need of replacement. These kits are 100% Japanese and feature a mix of OE Toyota and OEM suppliers such as NOK and Koyo. The right parts and step by step instructions too!
The kit is great Kurt. Works like a champ.
Only thing I might suggest on the E-hub kit is adding some form of Moly-Silicone grease for the slip ring. It's the only thing not included that isn't easily sourced at your local NAPA. I bought a big tube because I will use it elsewhere around the shop. But, that's overkill for a lot of people. A small 1 shot pack would cover the need.

Right on, I'll look into that. Would you mind sharing a picture of the stuff you use?
This information is shamelessly stolen from GTSSportCoupe. He did the research and I can't really take credit there.
What grease for electric hub slip rings?

Thanks, we have a similar lube at the shop. I wonder if I could squeeze a bit into a small zip lock baggy or similar and load them into the e-hub kits?
I don't know why not. It's not like you need much. I was thinking about it from the stand point of someone who doesn't work on their vehicles all the time like some of us. Now they have this giant tube of grease that they don't know what to do with. I view it as souped up dielectric, so I will use it.

Sweet. We'll make that standard in all our "E-Hub" kits in the future!
Did you ever source a hub face gasket for the Warns?

Full Warn hub service kits yes, but not the loose gasket (yet)
Do you currently have the hub socket for drum brake models? If not, do you know what size it is?
