if this came with driveplates, you will need to swap your birfields to make the toyota hubs fits. The birfields that come with driveplates to not allow or fit freewheel hubs. Yes, totally crazy and dumb. teh spline count is different than the birfields that come with freewheel hubs.
Look on ebay in australia (try: ROODOGS 4WD SPARES items - Get great deals on TOYOTA ALL MODELS, OTHER 4WD PARTS items on eBay Stores!).
Or, are there dismantler or "wrecking yards" in your town/country?
I have the same truck. It's a royal pain in the a** to put manual hubs on it. More so than any other cruiser.

when you engage 4wd your front prop shaft and half shafts are connected to the transfer box - you will only drive your front wheels as well if your hubs are locked!Well im still confused ok i get the part when we engage 4 wheel drive that the front wheels start driving as well but do the hubs do exactly ?
There are two basic hub designs. Manual and automatic. Manual is the type where you have to get out of your car and turn the hub centre from free to lock to engage the hub, and you need to engage both of them to make your vehicle 4x4 ready, and you can refer to this state as a life axle condition. Once you have shifted your 4x4 transfer lever from the 2H (two wheel drive High) to 4H or 4L four wheel drive High gear and Low gear) you will have full four wheel drive capability. Now the Automatic hubs work the same except that they look different and that you do not need to engage it manually at the hubs. You only have to do the shifting on the lever and the rotational force of the front propellor shaft through the side shafts will engage it automatically. You can lock them to a permanent state by using the wheel spanner and turning the nut in the centre of the hub to the lock position. Now you will have a "permanent" live axle. Remember that if you shift the lever to 2H you will only have 2wheel drive since you disengaged the 4x4 gearbox output to the front axle.Well im still confused ok i get the part when we engage 4 wheel drive that the front wheels start driving as well but do the hubs do exactly ?

Do you know where I can purchase in Malaysia? For lj70 8" axles. Current manuals are quite worn out.
Was checking in KL last week to no avail. Looking for AISIN manuals.


I think is generally sold by every Toyota part dealer!
btw, are you looking for used or new?![]()
