ECO DIRECT DRIVE HUBS

[Xengineguy]

Looking at the components, what is there to break? What spares would you be interested in acquiring/carrying with you? These things look like armor plating...

Asking because I am genuinely curious.

I think the axle is the week link in the system. Like you said I don’t know how you would tear them up as long as they are installed correctly. Spares? Maybe a hub?? Maybe a hub cap? If you are rock crawling and dropped down on a rock you might sheer
a cap off ?? Then you might need a cap and hub. The hub would be reusable but you might need to remove some broken screws. That would be extremely unlikely..

anyone want to bet that 3.07 center chunk prices will sharply drop should the Eco Hubs be a success?

4x4 set for a 1079! I'm located in Vancouver, BC but fan setup shipping drop of across the border for simplicity!

 

[Mk23]

A set of 4 for 1079 please!

A set of 4 for 1079 please!

Guys, a thread like this is very difficult to track requests. I’m sure he will start a for sale thread

@Xengineguy - I would suggest from past experience that you refer all requests to a formal “For Sale” ad. Just my 2 cents.

Definetly. Dont see why you would want to spend the time and money on them if you can do these yourself with better results.

I hope so! We are gearing up to have a decent amount of inventory. This is very expensive but so worth it! I don’t want people
waiting weeks for hub kits. Shipping 3 sets tomorrow!

I just received some really cool gaskets for the ECO HUBS today! They are made of .016 stainless steel and then a thin layer of high temp rubber is bonded to them. A small amount of silicon sealer would still be required around the half plugs.
The cost of gaskets would be an additional 175.00 for 4x4 set and 262.00 for a 6x6. Please let me know if you have interest
and would spend the xtra money . Need feedback. The price break down is 18.80 ea for the small gaskets and 24.86
for the large ones. Thanks for the support! Mike.

I'd be interested in a 4x4 set

Getting ready to install mine most likely sometime next week. Has anyone done it yet and have pictures of the steps? It seems pretty cut and dry but pictures are always useful for reassurance.

 

[Xengineguy]

I will try to post some pictures next week, Im out of town this weekend. If you get stuck give me a call.

Not All the steps, but I did do mine last weekend and took some pics

Eco Hub install

So my Eco Hubs are mounted. I still need to relearn transmission, since it feels like all my shift points are now wrong, but other than that, I am super impressed. Took a 20min quick test drive, accelerates to 65 fairly quickly (GPS verified, I still need the correct setting on the switches...

I would like to order a set with gaskets for our 6x6

 

[BERZERKER888]

I’ll wait a year or so and after 1/2 dozen installs to determine how the EcoHubs are holding up before ordering…such a simple and novel idea to address anything over 45mph… kudos..
