Again, not claiming to have made a brake improvement.

I'm not claiming this as an improvement in braking, just a modification, that doesn't take away from braking safety. All i did was modify to fit extended front lig studs, based on an engineer's research and an offroad race shop's guidance. No armchair engineering, or going with my gut. Simply...

I comprehend what you're saying about "taking the studs out of the equation" but i haven't. I have only moved the contact area of the stud to the rotor, and i have made the area of contact with the stud larger. The fastening bolts have been replace with bolts in excess of grade 8. The shear...

Ifs hubs are also fastened on with 2 bolts, the same as the 60 hubs design. The rotors are not floating on the ifs setup. The 2 bolts to fasten the rotors down, are also over the stud shoulders, just not through the front as on an ifs setup. Having had an engineer look at this new setup, as well...

The only difference between the two studs (Dorman and ARP) is .001 head diameter and knurl length. The difference in knurl length/depth, which is pretty close to the thickness of the rotor. So, the arp goes straight into the hub, vs the oem stud going through the rotor to the hub. Also...

Ok, so since rheyre the same its simple. Drill out your rotors to 3/4in holes (stud holes, not the 2 fasteners) pound/ press in your new, shiny arp studs, install rotors, bolt rotors down. The only difference in assembly is the studs no longer go through the rotor. They only go through the hub.

So, 62 hubs are already similar to an ifs hub. In that case, i can still assume that it's done in i similar way as to the 60s.

The OE studs are pressed through the rotor. The knurl in the OE stud doesn't make any real contact with the rotor. The extended studs have less of a shoulder than the OE type stud, so once the rotor is drilled out to accept the head of the new stud, the rotors just fit right over the top of them...

Yes. The ARP lexus is300 wheel studs will work. The knurl depth, diameter, and size is all the same. All you have to do is redrill your existing rotor holes to 3/4 inch. This will allow the rotor to bolt back into factory position, snugly fitting over the stud heads. The size discrepancy between...

My 60 is just for offroad/occasional street driving. I have a lexus sc400 as my daily driver.

As in lockers and possibly a regear.

Yes, 2-4 times a week is easy, when you livein northern nevada. 15-20 minutes in almost any direction will lend the desert roads to you. I did a 6 hour trip last night. I'm thinking, after everyone's input i will go no bigger than 35's and upgrade shafts, diffs, and birfs. Thanks everyone.

Ive already got the ome 3" heavy lift, method race wheels, and grabbers. I'm taking this thing out wheeling 2-4 times a week. Nothing crazy offroad. Just interested in having a more capable rig

I checked the faq and couldn't find a whole lot on what the largest size tire you can run on the stock 60 axles. I know 35s are the max you want to run on stock 8" front axles, but aren't ours a bit stronger? I'm considering going with body spacers and possibly higher lift, and don't want tiny...

I'm from reno and try to go out and wheel at least once a week. If you ever wanna join, send me a pm and we can link up sometime!
