These are my OG axles. Modified with TLT hub shafts, working on the rears. I will post pics when finished.

i am debating if i should do the mod to my hilux axles, but i just can`t get parts to get my locking hubs to work again, if i do this i will surely miss the cool factor of the locking hubs

The locking hubs are sweet. What don't you like? Lack of wheel options?

I love everything about my hilux, except for the part that I can't get the locking hubcaps anymore , one is rounded out, I used to be able to get some once in awhile , but I haven't found any in a long time.

x2 on the hub, it's just cool that you unlock/lock each front tire, drive in 2wd and get to place you need 4wd, the truck it's just spinning the rears and you just switch to 4wd and then lock the hubs, can get any more real than that. I just hope i can get the parts i need before i have to turn it into full time locked diff conversion

I have a set of these, they were not cheap when I bought them but will sell them for what I paid (I have no idea how much they are worth). One needs a bearing and has some minor cosmetic damage on the inside (bottom right in the 2nd pic). To my knowledge, they were never run and came off of a shelf queen when I purchased them. I personally never used them, been in a box of Bruiser stuff for at least 6 years. PM if interested.

Made by Forrest AKA BruiserBuilder, they certainly were NOT CHEAP new I can tell ya that. I personally have not seen a set in over 5 years.

Wish the hilux was cheaper. The lockout hubs are awesome.

Ha! Upon my request and several others asking for the ultra scale lockouts, I managed to secure a set for my hilux, hopefully I won't have wait much longer to get my hilux back to driving specs!
