Okay this is our chance to get a new product going for these trucks to get rid of the crappy wheel bearing issues with these trucks. I emailed DynaTrac and brought it to there attention. We need to show that there is interest in this product in order for it to get produced. The idea is very similar to there Dodge unit bearing retrofit for the FreeSpin hub kit. You can check it out here http://www.dynatrac.com/products_freespin_dodge.html

The Dodge factory bearing setup is pretty near identical to the Toyota. So this is what the kit would basically be I am assuming. Longer CV output shaft instead of a yoke style output. This kit would also give you the ability to have manual hubs. Something we all would like to have to save on uneeded wear on compnents. More importantly though if this kit were to come out our front wheel bearing issues would be illiminated and the bearings would be servicable. Price is looking to be between $1500-$2000. I find that resonable because when the crappy wheel bearings pile it can take out a ton of expensive parts that can equal more than the price of the kit.

So speak up and lets get the ball rolling with this because I personally am tired of this current poor design.

Thanks,
John


Spread this around the Forums that you are a part of to get this ball rolling. I already have it on TTORA and Ih8mud.com
I will be keeping in touch with DynaTrac as of right now they don't think people are looking to spend this kind of money on this issue but I think we are cause it doesn't take long to add up the expenses caused by this issue.

I don't think there is enough interest in this kit I'll give it some more time but maybe DynaTrac was right no one wants to spend that kind of money on these trucks specifically. I will see how things turn out but so far its just a handful of people.
