John, you need a shop on this side of the ferry! Maybe I'll just make a long list and then plan a fishing trip while you guys do your thing!

We can easily ship to Aus, we do it every week :D
 
Do you have the lockout contacts? Still searching for a replacement but have an alternative on the way.

Sorry I do not have them new, we do have a growing assortment of used e-hubs that I would sell complete. I'd have to peak at the condition of the actual contacts.
 
We've developed a kit for the 7x Series with the OE Electric Actuated Hubs, i.e. those with this button:

The kit has all of the standard knuckle kit offerings BUT I wanted to get some feedback from those owners who have done knuckle overhauls and see if they needed the following:

Did you replace these? The T20 Torx Screws or the Power Locking Hub Slip Ring that the screws hold to the actual spindle nut?

We are considering adding these to our e-hub kit offerings if more customers than not are using/needing them during the rebuild. Thoughts?

Kurt, not sure if you remember, but I had planned on doing the front rebuild about two years ago but had the manual locking hub gasket instead of the e-hub gasket. In any-case I never did finish the rebuild because I stripped a torx bit out and didn't want to drill and tap it. I will order the bolts from you when the time comes. That said, I'd even recommend including a drill bit and tap with the kit, not sure the expense, but I'm willing to bet others may be in a similar situation.

Great feedback..l those bolts are buggers. We've had a few through the shop and knock-on-wood they all came out.
 
My answer is to use a flat ended pin punch ( 8mm )and hit the head of the torx screw a couple of times, works 99% of the time.

I see you deal with this a fair bit based on your sig line. Do you make the adapter/spacers?
 
Bump... still moving a the E-Hub kits from time to time. Just shipped out a complete setup. Copy/Paste from our FB/IG post, figured it all started here I may as well share it here too.

"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!"
