Upgraded Knuckle Studs
Saw this link in the Hardcore Corner and thought that since some of you have had the pleasure of shearing knukle studs, you might want to check em out.

They have a better price at Trail Gear
They are only $45 and you can also pick up a set of the new rock rings that look really cool. Anyone up for a group buy? I know Rob and I are in for a set of both..... __________________ Norm Treasurer + Former VP Bay to Blue Ridge Cruisers TTORA-VA Virginia 4WD Association Toyota Land Cruiser Association 1987 4-Runner Crawler 'in progress' 2003 GMC 2500HD Crew Cab Duramax (I got one first....) |

I think the trail gear ones are stock replacments - not that there is anything wrong with that. I'm sure a new stock replacement is more than adequate for most applications. A new stud hasn't been fatigued yet or stretched by multiple installations and retorqing. I was just intriqued by the ARP studs made of an upgraded material.
Rock rings look pretty tough and not a bad price. __________________ TLCA #13916 Bay to Blue Ridge Cruisers 40th Anniversary FZJ80 - Wife's dog hauler with a new head. '77 FJ40 - Who needs fenders? '06 Taco TuRD - Yes, it does tow the 40. '08 HD XL1200L - Commuter vehicle, 57 mpg! |

One thing to think about - if a chromo stud did break off deep, wouldn't it be a bear to remove? Hard to drill, etc.

I've heard many different places that the *new* studs you get from Toyota with the star drive (or whatever you call it) are upgraded from the factory strength and design.
So they're more than just *unused* Just an FYI if you didn't know __________________ Chris Basehore TLCA# 4821 74 FJ40- built F, knuckles/brakes from a FJ60, Longs, 4" Pinnacle sucks big wads, mini PS, shite paint 93FZJ80 "klunky"- E-lockers, home built sliders, IronPigOffRoad bumper, CDL switch, D-less, mucho maintenance www.ILUVROCKS.com |
