I just returned from picking a 62 up in Charlotte. Glad to see that you guys made it home OK. I would go the easy out route first and see what you fine left in the thread department.

Like Rice said, you can go to the 105 series 10mm studs, cone washers, washers and nuts. The hub has enough material to go up. But you will also have to have the axle flanges drilled out to accept new studs.
Toyota re-engineered the front and rear hub studs for the 105 series based on feedback Toyota received about the 80 series from use in Australia.
The hub as 2 6mm pins that locate the axle shaft. On mine I add 2 more 8mm pins to provide more strength. Again, the axle shaft will also have to be drilled out for these.
At least your's was in a good location.
I sheared my hub studs on Hurrah Pass in Moab in 2007 and had to drive all the back down in to Moab and wait for a rescue in the form of a used hub that CDan was able to bring from my garage in ABQ on his way up to Moab.
They sheared again on the Rubicon in 2009 and that's when I went with the upgrades. When I was wheeling the 80, I would carry a modified spare hub just in case. But the upgrades worked and they never sheared again.
Hope that helps.

Thanks @beno I like the idea of upgrading the hub. Going down to see @NCFJ to get it fixed up.

By the way, this is the track we did. We probably didn't get all the way to the place where others have driven up to camp. This place is worth further investigation and explordoraretion. Not a gravel road, it's a trail with some good technical sections. It was 2.5 miles long to this point. Lots of hikers later in the afternoon, very little in the morning.
Trail is fairly flat, but narrow in places with vegetation.

Lots of hikers. Lots and lots. I was hoping the impending rain would keep them away.
Even saw one group with a piñata. Not sure about that
