Call chris and get the aisin's, i hate freaking warn hubs...

I see that ORS is offering "Holiday" rates for their Manual Hub Kit. I've been eyeing this kit for some time... and the extra $100 off might push me over the edge. I also see that they now offer a "NEW" kit. One that does not ship with the Warn Hubs. Is says you can use either Aisin or Mile-marker hubs. I think I might like to get the cheaper kit ($789) and order my own Aisin hubs. Before I do......

Could someone school me about the differences between Aisin/Warn. Is Aisin really stronger?? Does one stick out farther than the other?? Are there different "levels" of Aisin hubs? Meaning, are there different models to choose from. One being the cheap$$ route, while maybe another is the HIGH END model??? How much are NEW Aisin hubs?? Can I just go to Toyota and order them? Again, what model would I order?? Any other info would be great. I'm just trying to educate myself on this a little bit more. Also, how do you pronounce AISIN??

Thanks for all the info! Although, I'm still wondering if I should do it. What if something happens to the shaft (i.e. I brake it, or someone t-bones me). I got to get a custom shaft make again. It's not like I can pick up a new one at me nearest shop (being longer and-all). I'm not sure I like the idea of being "dependent" on ORS for any new shafts in the furture. I'm just thinking out loud.

Have you called and chatted with Mike at ORS about it all? He wont BS you around... Just ask specific questions about what you want to know.
BTW, if Norm answers, ask for Mike [owner] He may be busy and may have to call you back. Also, if you decide to buy, ask Mike if he can hook you up even more with a TTORA discount... Worth a try

Actually no... I haven't called yet. I wanted to make sure I got a little information before I did. I don't want to sound too stupid when I talk with them. I'll try to make that call sometime this week. I'm sure they'll be really cool... and answer my questions.

TTORA cost is only $336.38

What kind of shipping cost are we talking about for these hubs?? Remember, it's the "giving" time of year.
