1990 Prado Locking Hubs

Hello everyone. I'm a new member and have a few questions for you regarding a JDM 1990 Land Cruiser Prado LJ78 I have. It's running well, but the electric locking hub on one side isn't working. Specifically, the little electric motor for the left side hub is shot. Also, the small gear that is on the end of the shaft of the electric motor inside the hub (it turns the big ring gear that engages the hub), is broken. The carbon brushes for the motors (both sides) are also worn and will need replacing pretty soon. I live in Canada and as these vehicles were not available here I am having trouble sourcing these parts. None of the domestic (North American) Cruisers had similar hubs that can be swapped out. Does anyone know the parts numbers for the parts listed above, or better yet, know a dealer from whom I can order the parts? Any information would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Mike

Your other option is to move to manual hubs. You'd need a set of spacers and hubs. Superwinch sell both of these.

The Part No on my Superwinch ones is 400521 (Just checked the box in the garage) but from memory, they were Landcruiser ones, so I'm really not sure. Best thing to do would be take the hub off, count the splines and measure the diameter.

That's the one, you can either use spacers or fit hilux hubs like I did, then bolt on the freewheeling hubs of your choice. I asked for that writeup to be put in the tech section/library so it's easier to find but the mods haven't got around to it yet.
