New 6 stud knuckles
« on: Jan 23, 2006, 02:05:30 PM »
Hey big Mike: what is the scoop on these?  I called a couple of months ago :phone:  and heard that there was problems with production :headscratch:  .... are you guys any closer to production and stocking up on them? :attention:

I saw your proto type at the Jeepers Jamboree ..... I still want to buy a pair.   :yupyup:

How about a way to convert 4stud steering arms to work with 6stud knuckles so we do not have to all buy new steering arms :hammerhead:  :smack: Maybe something that can be welded to the old 4 stud arms. I do not want to buy new 6 hole arms at $300 a pair :sad2:  :shudder:

I hope they will be out soon since they are advertised all over the place and I think they would be good sellers.  :toilet:

This is the first I have seen of this post. I have not had the time to cruise the forum lately. The original knuckle casting needed some changes so we had to pay for new tooling. We now have a lot of money tied up in this project. That is done and we are just waiting for an email with and ETA. Our source for the knuckle is not the fastest but its getting done.

Eggsactly......if you kick off the product with a combo price and take orders it will jump start the madness and help recover costs!  Demand will get stronger the quicker you get them in the field.

Everyone still with toy setups and bigger tires will need these pimpin' knuckles and arms.  :drooling:   

It should be a great with 30splines and arp hub kits.  It's working for the comp guys.

Thanks for bringing us up to speed on this one, I had a hunch that there were some more struggles and it would take even longer yet.

i don't know about you guys, but i'm pretty confident in marlin's crew's work; and if they need more time to design/test/redsign these babies so we can give our rigs hell and have them come home in one piece, i'm more than happy to wait.

A buddy of mine is already been runnin the 6 stud arms. they bolt on to the stock four bolts....so.. u can get them now and start running them. They are INCREDIBLE .... he has had no problems that i know of and they have been on for about 6 months or so i believe. Check out my myspace buddies and look up DILLON. He is the one that is running them. 1st gen yota, lok'd f/r 5.29 with birfs not 30splines yet. He is goin to be doin the swap out for 30 splines when the knuckle come out and do it all at once.
1st gen yota truck. 37x12.5x15. 5spd dual cases, chevy springs in rear, toyota rears springs in front. Long bed....the list never ends..
Dont try to shift into 6th when u've only got a 5spd! Rubberside down doesnt always mean rite side up!
