Got My Hubs On

[crotchrocket]

Fitted my manual locking hubs, no CV boot wear for me :D

I got these ones caus i thought they were a matt colour. Turns out there chrome so i think i'll paint them black as they dont suit the car at the moment.

Claire got me to pose for a photo when i took pics of the hubs this morning so here's me too !! :D

I dunno...they seem to match your lug nuts well enough...:smilewink

Ya scrub up pretty good there fella!...:laughing:

Now HERE'S something to worry about...even though there is no rotation, your outer cv boots are still stretching & flexing, every time you turn the steering wheel...:eek:

[crotchrocket]

Yeah, they are a bit chrome arent they!!!

Was just about to leave for work this morning before that photo :D

CROTCHROCKET--- I concur with Ldub. The new hubs match the lug nuts. I say leave them as they are. Besides if you paint them black and they get scuffed up off-road and paint-chipped, then they'll really look crappy.

I suppose you could reduce the amount of chromieness by putting a wrap or two of electricians tape on em'.

Kind of a red neck solution, I know, but if they get gank'd on the trail, it's easy to fix.

Meh they look good as they are !

Dam your tyres on your vx make mine look smallish even tho there the same size :S i guess its just the angle of the photos ive taken, and of course different rims

What brand are the hubs is it Avm ? or something with A

I was gonna get some but i doubt theyd fit under the caps on my rims.

[crotchrocket]

Yep, they are these

On the topic of hub colors, I never understood why people always paint their Aisin hubs red and black. I scored a set from Pick & Pull and I painted them all black. I then took my Dremel and with the soft pad I removed the paint from the raised letters so you can read the hubs easily. It looks much better than random red and black. (and I am talking about the hubs for my Trooper, btw)
