Topic: Dana 60 rear to a toy 6 lug.

[Northern Runner]

Is it possible to convert a Dana 60 rear axle that currently has an 8 lug pattern to a disc brake with 6 lug to match a factory toyota pattern?

You can not redrill the flange if its a full floating axle.

The only way to do it is to weld the yota housing ends onto the 60 tubes and use the yota shafts.

if not why does my buddies new rig have a redrilled 14bolt rear ? 6 lug with discs

The shape of the flange prohibits its mounting from what Ive seen.   Im sure it could be machined down to work if you took the time.

If you have some coin to drop, I believe that Dynatrac sells wheel hubs that convert to 6 lug

i was wondering about that also,  maybe turning the spindles to accept front toyota hubs

ask toybuilt.  he has one for sale with a matching front from his 1st gen. they have ARB's and 5.13's.  Its got the toy rear axles and brakes with a 60 center.  Front 44 with ARB and Flat tops, warns and beefy u-joints

Bought one awhile back from  the pirate board. It's been converted to a 6-lug. Not toyota outers. The real deal. I think they're custom shafts though.

Foothill Offroad sells a rear dana 60/toyota hybrid (or at least they did)  Dana 60 pumpkin with toyota brakes and 6 lug.  Prolly cost too much though.

I don't see why it'd be to hard to do that.  Just find a 30 spline rear 60 and cut the housing down to the appropriate size and weld the flange on that bolts the brakes and axles on from a Toyota.

Try this company, Performance Wheel. They use to have spacers that change from one lug pattern, to another.

Thanks for the info everyone.
Lookin like the diamond axles will be the way to go with chromoly shafts.
