Why a Manual Hub ?

We chose to change from the stock auto hubs for one main reason, reliability. The auto hubs tend to take a few wheel revolutions to engage and you need to put it in reverse to disengage the 4×4 system. The change also saved us 1,267 grams (633.3 g each side).

The Delica L300 #SLACKERvan is a forward control van so it is “easy” to be able to reach down from an open door to lock the hubs in. Raquel insists I will need to make the trek over to the passenger side as she is unwilling to turn the dial but I think she will give in when the going gets tough.

Why Titanium Bolts?

Because they are rainbow colored of course! Not really, I went with Ti because they were the same price as OEM bolts and the shipping speed and cost was much faster and cheaper.
