Good idea, but you could have used a socket head cap screw. The head would have cleared with no grinding and they are usually a very high grade. Could even use them instead of studs. Keep up the awesome work, love your channel!!!
9/10 times I've come across broken studs is them working loose. Usually starts with the front then works to the back ones. Every trip I would go through and tighten mine when I had mini axles, then after every 5-10 trips I would pull the arms off and re tighten the actual studs. Just a heads up, they always work loose. Great content as aways though!
Oh I am aware of this! I tighten them after almost every trip. I think this might be a small part of the issue too. Always retorquing the studs and slowly stretching and wearing them down overtime.
When I went to dealer to order these stock studs the parts guy said Toyota just changed the part number for them and had to order the new style studs. They are also supposed to be stronger.
Awesome reference material! Have to admit, I'd never seen this mod, but I love it! Maybe something that we do off camera here, on our DIESEL TACOMA SWAP series. Our solid axle finding its way into place really shortly!
I machined him a set of IFS hubs to replace his wheel spacers, as well as give him the ability to do the camo-method to replace broken birfs out in the field. with the camo method, you can unbolt your spindle from the knuckle without taking the hub off. it saves messing with the bearings out in the bush. the IFS hubs were machined down around the OD of the stud face to accommodate a 98 tacoma rotor that slips over the hub, instead of being pressed onto the back of the hub with the factory studs.
@@m.pence1575 not for the camo method. Just jack up, remove the wheel, remove caliper, remove rotor, unbolt the spindle, then pull the broken birf out. Super easy.

That should hold together longer, nice work
We're all here trying to live in 2021 meanwhile this dude living the Limitless life, lol. Awesome job on the modification. Cheers
Excellent modification. Can't wait to see it in use.
Excellent craftmanship.
I’m doing this!!! Good work with the fab. When will you give the review or comparisons between the v8 and 3.4. Like performance, gas mileage etc

Upgrade to Dana 60 35 spline axles problem solved👍🏿👍🏿
Nice upgrade!
3:32 Did you use 12.9 grade/pc (property class) hardware?
Edit: Great content btw!! 👍👍👍
Would love to see a 1st gen 4Runner on your channel
Me too!
@@DirtGarage Boarders opened up. Maybe I should roll up and beat up my cream puff 1st gen haha.
What kind of headlights you got there
Arp makes a set of studs that’s suppose to be way stronger then stock stuff.

What’s the brake conversion setup? It’s got a floating rotor
ifs hub swap. gives you a inch and a half inch width per side so it's pretty cool. i did it to my rig aswell.

@@analog56x yup! how do you take the spindle off? do you have to take off the knuckle to?

Nice
Why not just use grade 8 hardware?
It's OEM hardware, new stuff is ordered from dealer.
👍👊
Break the other side so you can fix it 😉
Right?
New front springs... those are flat as pancakes.
And on purpose.
If you do this your self, please buy a grade 8 bolt. Don’t use a grade 5 like in the video. I really expected more from you😢
Time to go 6 shooter if that doesn’t work
Nah, I'd likely go keyed arms.
