i ran them at a local trail last week, and them held up fine.
i will be going to moab this weekend and im gonna beat the crap outta them, but i doubt they will fail, my weak link is the u-joints now

how were they with clearing your wheels? were you still able to get the hub over the washers/bolt heads sticking out?

boggerunner · « **Reply #34 on:** Apr 17, 2009, 10:44:44 PM »

yep, they went on fine

pumkin toy · « **Reply #35 on:** Apr 17, 2009, 10:47:15 PM »

awesome! thats cool that they cleared the wheels

boggerunner · « **Reply #36 on:** May 28, 2009, 09:06:26 PM »

so i have been abuseing the crap outta these for a few months now, and they are holding up great. ive done a few 3rd gear waterfall launches, and blew up a rear ring and pinyon, and i havent had any problem with the new stud setup. i do however have a new weak link in the hub, the gear that moves with the dial, ive broken 2 of these now. time to send some off to get cryoed.

well i broke an aisin hub this last weekend and i have a spare set of warn hubs. the mounting holes on the warns are already wobbled out so i think i will donate them for this upgrade. i'm gonna try it with these hubs and see how it works out.

i have heard that the warn hubs are junk. ive got an 84 front axle layin in the garage with one warn hub on it.

yeah the reason the suck is because they dont utilize the cone washers. so they come loose then all the hub studs shear off

boggerunner · « **Reply #40 on:** Jun 08, 2009, 08:09:18 PM »

i see.

i am making a kit using 7/16 fine thread studs for these, they will be available soon.
i have no problem with my allen head bolts, but i think they will sell better if i use studs instead of bolts.
i pick up the material tomorrow.

pumkin toy · « **Reply #41 on:** Jun 11, 2009, 09:06:44 PM »

the only thing i dont like about this upgrade is the fact that when you drill out the holes to accept the larger bolts, it doesnt leave much material around the bolt. hopefully that area wont start to crack from the thinner material.

boggerunner · « **Reply #42 on:** Jun 12, 2009, 05:16:34 PM »

even if it did crack on the outside edge, all the force is on the sides of the bolts, the inner hub gear that slides back and forth is the new weak link.

boggerunner · « **Reply #44 on:** May 11, 2010, 12:12:20 PM »

ive gone through 2 ring and pinyons, and the bolts have held up fine.

That and Warn makes the hub body from aluminum...........not steel

bumping this back up. any updates on how this mod is holding up?

boggerunner · « **Reply #51 on:** Oct 12, 2011, 03:24:22 PM »

they are in my 90 4runner with a built 3rz, and still holding up fine, never had to tighten a lockout hub bolt since they were installed.
i also have a buddy runnin 42's with full hydro and 3" wheel spacers with this setup and they havent failed him either
