Suszq Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Hi, I'm looking at a 79 Toyota rv that has the 5 lugs is this a big issue for that year. I live out of state and my brother is looking at it for me. Anything else he should look out for? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The aftermarket dual wheels are an issue for all years. They were all recalled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suszq Posted September 21, 2019 Author Share Posted September 21, 2019 Do they still fix or are they too old for recall? Sorry newbie here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtlantaCamper Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 (edited) If you are willing to pay $1.5k to maybe $2.5k to get the axle upgraded then OK, but if that cost plus the purchase price (along with whatever else needs to be fixed) is over the top then you should pass on this one. Just to be clear: you should _not_ consider the idea of buying it and not converting the axle to the 6-lug full float.

linda s Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 You really need to know if it has dual or single wheels. There are a few small ones that didn't have the duallies. If that's the case you might be ok Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek up North Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 It's a duallie (presumably still a foolie). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suszq Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 Thanks all I'll definitely make sure to check before purchase ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
