Could you please elaborate as to why the spindle needed replaced? I want to install free wheel hubs on a 2010 grj71 and suspect may need the same parts. @lcwizard @cruiseroutfit

Assuming you are referring to swapping out the E hubs ? They use indeed different hubs and spindles , not to clutter up David's tread but I have a few nib hubs sitting here in the shop OEM toyota.Could you please elaborate as to why the spindle needed replaced?

Those need a special freewheel as your shafts are about a mm thicker then the ones that came with freewheels from the factory . No idea why Toyota did this .
My 78 had driveflanges and I found out the hard way .That's new to me .. but the length it's shorter ..
But when I bought those same hubs from you guys for my HZJ78 that came with drive flanges they did not fit. Talking to a mechanic that works at one of the larger ngo dealerships he told me they ran in to that same issue before , better measure that driveshaft as there is just 1 mm difference but it is 1 mm to much.The late model GRJ7x could have drive flanges, manual hub or the dual-mode auto locking hub. The combination birf and spindle changed accordingly. It's possible to convert to either/or, but you'll have to convert the birf/spindle accordingly. This is what we set up @Tapage with. In his case he had the dual mode automatics so by simply swapping spindles, he could run our HUBFHT001 AISIN hubs, no birf change req'd.

You are right , this changed with the wide nose models .I have a set of flanges ( actually you gave those to me ) for Tencha and they worked flawless on my birfs for Factory hub ..
This it's an issue for post 2007 7* series .?
@cruiseroutfit …… What year did Toyota start using the one in the top left?
