Do you have pics of the finished hubs with manual hubs?
I can take a pic of them as they sit on my truck. Is this what you are looking for?
what was your total cost in parts?
if you look back at post #15 that should answer the question
Do i need to swap the outboard CV joints?
yes or see post #15 you can do a reman axle swap.
sorry for the late reply, my alerts are not working right.

AT THE SAME TIME U WERE DOING THIS SWAP , I WAS DOING THE SAME THING. AS U HAD , I TOO HAD BEEN THINKING & PLANNING THIS SWAP FOR A FEW YEARS BUT THE COST HAD ALWAYS STOPPED ME. IN JULY I BLOKE AN AXLE AND DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO JUST GET IT DONE ! !
BUT I GOT LUCKY. A FRIEND HAD DONE A SAS TO HIS TACOMA AND HAD SET THE WHOLE FRONT END A SIDE , HUB TO HUB. I BOUGHT ALL BUT THE 3rd MEMEBER FROM HIM. SWAPPED ALL THE PARTS OVER TO MY '98 WITH NEW AXLES FROM NAPA.
BEEN WHEELING WITH IT EVER SINCE AND LOVING IT ! ! THE SHIFT ON THE FLY , INTO & OUT OF 4 WHEELDRIVE IS NICE BUT I JUST NEVER FELT LIKE IT WAS AS SATISFYING AS GETTING OUT AND LOCKING IN THE HUBS !

MY TACO HAD THE A.D.D. MY FRIENDS TACO DID NOT.

I bought one like that with the hollow pins and promptly destroyed ALL those wimpy hollow pins. Took the thing to a heavy duty nut and bolt shop and found some solid steel pins that fit in perfectly. Tacked them all in place and then the thing worked like a charm. If you're wanting a tool that works right out of the box, I suggest to stay away from the hollow pin style. Just my honest opinion, YMMV.
Now make one for the 2nd gen Tacomas!

Theres actually at least 2 different kits out there for the 2nd Gen Tacoma (fits other Toyotas in the 120 platform as well). You can find them on Tacoma World forums. I'll try and link them when i have time.

I've got a couple videos related to this subject that will show you start to finish how to get this job done. Part 1 shows the job start to finish for non-ABS knuckles. Part 2 was added to show you how to do the press work if you're going to be maintaining ABS function and are swapping over the manual hub parts to your ABS knuckles.
