Opinion on Wicked Creations housing & hubs?

[RicoSalami769]

Anyone have experience with Wicked Creations housings and hubs? Looking at placing an order for a full housing. But wanted to see how others have been holding up out in the wild before ordering

Terrible, dont waste your money. Buy from literally anyone else

I’d go Schreiner instead. If you’re looking for a budget friendly option…

X2 on the schreiner. I have the 31 spline FF and am happy with it. Wish I would have gone bigger on the spline count, but it’s what was in the budget.

Told you! The 31 spline flavor is a GREAT deal though.

Only problem with Schreiner stuff is the modified (dodge?) rotors that bolt to back of the hub with 5X 5/16” socket head cap screws. The bolt pattern is small, and if not properly safety wired, Loctite-ed, and torqued, said bolts can loosen which can result in catastrophic rotor destruction and resultant danger and fuckery.

Of course I would have liked to have went bigger, but I couldn’t swing it at the time. Thank God it’s served me well thus far, but I am pretty conservative when driving it on the road to make sure it doesn’t bind or put undue load on the axles.

I wish the snouts were bigger, too. To upgrade to bigger axles I’d have to cut the snouts off and weld new ones in.

Pro tip: don’t let turbo yota drive your truck. I give 31 spline axles about 2.5 seconds of life before explosion.

But also why buy a full floater if money is that tight? Genuinely curious. Seems like a junkyard housing with some semi float 35 splines would be plenty for you.

I wanted to be able to get back home should an axle break. With the spool and full floater I don’t have to worry about it.

Is the driver side snout on the Schreiner still standard thread or did he finally reverse thread them? That gave me major headaches when I ran one on my tundra? Nut retainer would break and the hub nut would back itself out.

 

[Turboyota]

They are still both RH thread.

Neither my buddies or I have ever had an issue.

Jamar is a great option: https://jamarperformanceusa.com/collections/hubs-and-hub-kits/products/j7505r

To be fair the problem really started when I went up to a 37 x 12.5 which in shreiners defense it probably wasn't meant for that size tire. I remedied the problem buy having lock rings cut out of .125 4130
