TRD off road wheels

For those that are wondering yes the trd center cap fit the TRD wheel take notes toyota this is what some of us wanted on this trim front wheel just took off the axel nut dust cover

 

can you explain the process and or pros or cons of removing that axel nut dust cover. I ordered and returned those exact center caps because they didn’t fit the front tires. I would really like to add them.

 

The dust cover just prevents dust and rust with in the years witch I know I wouldn't mind knowing I use the truck for off roaing and daily use and i know it's going to get dirty I don't have them on my old tacoma either I don't mind them off especially to make them fit

 

thank you, was removing them difficult? Where did you order the caps from?

 

From my local Toyota...and yes and now just be patient I grabbed a flat head and a hammer and slowly tapped it 360 to come off

 

Thanks again, I appreciate it. Did I read your earlier message correctly, you’re not concerned about leaving the cap removed? I’m not mechanically inclined but I just want to be sure keeping them removed won’t do any long term damage.

 

Yeah I even checked with some master tech from Toyota that I should be worried about it

 

Id just smear something on the end of the axle threads to prevent rust and assist with removing the nut if needed. Maybe anti-seize or a waxy product like Boeshield T9. In fact, I’d do this anyway since I’m in the northeast. Don’t worry about not having the dust cover.

 

Doesn’t the dust cover keep dirt, water and winter salt out of the bearing race?

 

i live in San Diego CA i dont see much of salt water here but again its up to you to each their own

 

I got the TRD center caps installed. I removed the dust caps, hammered them down so they were a little more “flat” and then managed to reinstall them. The TRD caps fit and I still have functioning dust caps.

 

Looks great OP!

Just interested if any of you plan to sell your Toyota logo center caps? I actually have 1 missing on my '22 SR5

 

I would be happy to sell them, I’m up in Canada though so I’m not sure about the shipping costs.

 

If your missing one already i would try Toy to replace for free. They shouldn’t just fly off

 

It really changes the look of the wheels--I will be def looking to do this to mine

 

I like the little touch of red, ties in well with the TRD vinyl I put on the front grille.

 

I know its the small things that make it pop
