I have a question for ya. Was there any reason that you changed? Have you ever broken a toyota knuckle? Sweet either way keep up the awesome work.
I've sheared studs twice & cracked one knuckle, didn't break completely though. Going to the open knuckle design lets me run the larger & stronger D60 outers & opens up the option to go 35 spline. I believe the limiting factor on this hybrid axle is the weakness of the LC R & P. That's why I'm hesitant to run fatter shafts on this one, so I'll keep it 30 spline. I've been running 6 lug front 8 lug rear for years & it isn't ideal so I'll get rid of that. I wouldn't trust LC knuckles for hydro-assist, which is what I have planned also. Already seen a broken Six Shooter knuckle arm so that's another reason to swap outers. Larger knuckle studs & a wider contact patch on the D60 stuff too. I think I have a pic of one time shearing all 4 studs at BHCC '99:
