"new" Knuckles for disc brake conversion?

[BinaryDude]

I was searching for parts to do my disc brake conversion, and i ran across this on ebay:

eBay Motors: TOYOTA High Steer Steering Knuckles 6 stud Trail Gear (item 250327320354 end time Dec-17-08 09:34:16 PST)

Talking to the guys that make this, the knuckle is designed to work on Mini Trucks in the correct year range. Before I waste money on them, i wanted to get input for higher sources.

Somebody posted recently on these. Do a search for 6 shooter knuckles. There are a couple of Mud vendors that are selling these as well!

Here's one link I found https://forum.ih8mud.com/40-55-series-tech/204725-6-shooter-any-problems.html

Depends on what you're wanting to do, those are made for SOA conversions where people are breaking knuckles. You're only going to be able to find high-steer arms for those, so keep that in mind if you're staying stock or have SUA lift springs.

If you're just looking for a disk conversion, I'd say find some used 40/60/mini bits for your '80. If you're planning on going hard-core, these are the shiznit for stock axles -

Yeah they're best wiith SOA - if you plan on that, then grab them and I'd go 4X4 Labs hi-steer arms/rods and execute SOA while you're at it, rather than take it all apart again........otherwise get you a set of 62 knuckles for next to nothing and do the same amount of work.

Ordinary large pattern stock Toyota arms will fit on 4 of those 6 studs..

4X4 labs can make arms for SUA ,he also sells a kit to add the extra two studs to your existing knuckles

I'm still trying to make my mind up which way I want to go... but the allure of new parts over used parts is great.

Does 4x4 Labs do Wrong Hand Drive (RHD)?
