A quick question that I am sure has been dealt with before, but here goes.
If I put a set of Aisin locking hubs on my 4Runner do I need a different set of the plastic center caps for my stock aluminum wheels or is it feasible to cut the existing ones to fit over the hubs? Or, does it look alright if you just run without the center caps?

Yep, here are a few pics of a friend of mines '89 truck after he put on a pair of Aisin hubs last year.

It looks good by leaving off the top part of the cap.
I am not sure if he had to cut them, or if the outer piece just pops off leaving the hole.

Quick question kinda along the same lines. I want to get rid of the ADD on my 93 Toyota pickup and add manual hubs, can someone point me to a link or two on how to convert. Thanks!

I cut my center caps. There is already a groove there. I used a dremel but anything will cut it really. I went back afterwards with the dremel and smoothed out the plastic with a sanding wheel and ended up with a very tight fit.

Forget the center caps

run without the caps, the hubs take almost the same amount of room
