[Halladay]

oh ok i got mine  running today and drove it with double low, its so nice i dont know why i didnt do it sooner. im rocking the stock x-member now untill my trail gear one comes and i can build a front driveline

[toyotanner]

Nice! we need to get up to browns before the rain comes back!

[Halladay]

all i have to do is my front driveline, x-member, weld on my cage on all the way, and fix a nuckle stud. im running 3 studs and my passanger nuckle. Btw i got my rear driveline back from Driveline Tech and that guy does great work! 

[toyotanner]

Just replace all the studs woth ARP ones! Believe me, breaking knuckle studs on the trail sucks sooooo bad!

[Halladay]

ya i am going to do arp's or 6 shooters. any experiance with those?

The ARPs yes. They are pretty nice and all you need is a 8mm to pout them in. No experience with 6shooters. I want them but they're too much money for me right now.

[kiyul4130]

its very easy to break those studs. the arms loosen up all the time for some reason. get those arps so atleast if the arms loosen up they dont shear everything off. i remember breaking all mine off on the pass. side. thats usually the side that goes. what are you going to do with no steering? nothing. Jud broke all his off the other weekend. its a huge PITA an can ruin a weekend of wheeling.

[toyotanner]

surprisingly i've only broken 2 of them... now when i'm wheeling i check the steering arms constantly. cant wait til i can put up the money for the arp's with the hex head awesome idea i think putting the 8mm head on them

[kiyul4130]

ya do it. i checked mine also 2 MCR's ago. saturday afternoon. then that evening wheeling up cadillac they all let go. i drove home with a new knuckle an only 3 studs in like what you were saying.

if anything get a spare knuckle from someone till you can get arps. i wish i would have done that also.

[toyotanner]

the knuckle stud problem is Halladay's i was just sharing my experience haha

[Jud]

The ARPs from Trail-Gear aren't that expensive. You don't have to buy all the cone washers, wave washers, and nuts unless your old ones are beat. I didn't buy new ones.
