Stock Toyota inner axle seals are prone to failure from the beginning. They do a horrible job of sealing inbetween the factory inner axles and the axle housing itself. Why does this matter? The birfields are designed to have higher viscosity lubrication (not gear oil) When gear oil seeps past the factory inner axle seals, you have 2 things happen. 1. The Birfields can wear out quicker and 2. The oil seeps out the front axle housing because the wiper seals are meant to keep in the grease, not oil and keep out crud and debris. These axle seals fix the common problem at a great price.  They are incredibly worth the investment.

Toyota ARP 2000 Hub Stud Kit, for 1 Hub

by Trail Gear
Sold out
$120.00

With 30 spline birfields, six stud knuckles, and chromo hub gears or drive flanges, the next weak link in your front axle is your hub studs. When they fail you will be left without four wheel drive, and often times the hub will be unrepairable. Trail-Gear, in partnership with ARP, have designed the most durable hub stud on the market. These hub studs are made from the strongest material ARP can manufacture for this type of fastener. ARP 2000 material has a tensile strength of 220,000 PSI and the ARP 2000 hub stud is cadmium plated to ensure that it is protected from rust and corrosion for many rough years to come. On the top of the stud we machined a 6mm hex head so that installation and maintenance is easy and no special tools are required. ARP 2000 hub studs are sold in kits of six with all the necessary hardware included.

Kit Includes:

  •  (6) ARP 2000 Hub Studs
  •  (6) Conical Washers
  •  (6) Lock Washers
  •  (6) Nuts

THESE ARE PRICED PER SIDE SO A QUANTITY OF 2 ARE NEEDED FOR ONE VEHICLE.

Tired of wiping big clumps of dirty sandy grease off of your knuckle balls after every trip? So are we. The engineering department at Trail Gear was asked to look at the problems with the OEM design along with what was currently offered on the market and they came up with a one-piece, high grade polyurethane seal that is durable and will give you a lifetime of dependability. Trail Safe Knuckle Ball Wiper Seals are without a doubt the best in the industry. No other design is comparable in performance and quality.

The Trail Safe Knuckle Ball Wiper Seal is a double sided seal that keeps grease in and dirt out, all while eliminating the use of the OEM felt and rubber. Since it is made from seal-grade polyurethane, not UHMW, the seal is pliable enough to stretch over the knuckle ball during installation. This eliminates the need to cut the seal for installation which allows water to enter the knuckle ball and for grease to escape. Trail Safe Knuckle Ball Wiper Seals are sold in pairs with the legendary Rock Rings.

One kit will complete one axle. Kit Includes:

  • (2) Trail Safe Knuckle Ball Seal Wipers
  • (1) Rock Ring Kit
  • (16) Rock Ring Bolts
  • (16) M6 Lock Washers

In many cases, stock wheel bearing nuts and star washers can be used several times. However, with the increased maintenance required of an off road vehicle, these will need to be replaced. Trail-Gear now offers a Chromo Spindle Nut Kit that allows you to more easily service your axle and decreases your long term service costs. The Locking Nut and Washer have been CNC machined from 4130 Chromoly. The Nut has also been heat treated to Grade 8 standards. Kit comes with the hardware necessary for one axle.

Advantages over stock:

  • Stronger than stock. Made out of 4130 Chromoly.
  • Extends the life of your wheel bearings due to loose spindle nut and OEM lock washer.
  • Ease of installation.

This kit includes:

  • Thrust Washer (qty 2)
  • Spindle Locking Nut (qty2)
  • Spindle Locking Washer (qty 2)
  • Washer, M3 locking (qty 4)
  • M3-.05 Socket Head Cap Screw (qty 4)

NOTE: 1 KIT SERVICES 1 FULL AXLE

When Trail Gear tested the strength of 6 Stud knuckles, they found that running 6 OEM Studs on the 6 Stud knuckles was stronger than running 4 ARP Magnum Studs on a stock 4 stud knuckle.  So, with this information Trail-Gear looked at ways to make it stonger than even running OEM and not the cost of ARP studs. Now, Stronger and longer than stock Toyota replacement knuckle studs and more affordable than our Magnum Studs these studs will provide great strength without breaking the bank. Each stud is constructed from a proprietary metal made exclusively for Trail Gear.  These studs are manufactured to Trail-Gear's strict specifications and are significantly stronger than OEM standard (testing exceeded Class 12.9 standards). Trail Gear super metal knuckle studs are .250” (1/4”) longer than stock to accommodate all aftermarket steering arms. Like our Magnum Studs, TG super metal studs feature an integrated 8mm hex head for easy removal. These studs should be your first choice for knuckle hardware when repairing or upgrading your high-steer system.

We recommend using Locktight on the lower threads when installing knuckle studs. Studs should be tightened to 40 ft-lbs in the knuckles. Stud nuts should be tightened to 75 - 80 ft-lbs.

Fits 1979-1985 Toyota front solid axle knuckle.

NOTE: This is enough hardware to complete one six shooter knuckle. Purchase 2 kits for both knuckles.

Kit consist of the following:

  • Knuckle cone washers (QTY: 6)
  • Knuckle wave washers (QTY: 10)
  • Knuckle nuts (QTY: 10)
  • TG Super Metal knuckle studs (QTY: 10)

After years of development and testing, these knuckles and steering arms have set a new standard in Toyota knuckle strength and reliability. The Fully Loaded Six Shooter Kit totally eliminates the problem of broken steering knuckles and studs. The addition of two studs in each arm effectively prevents the steering arm from becoming loose or shearing off the studs under extreme loads. The knuckle housing was designed with thicker than stock material and larger gussets have been added around the outside of the knuckle for extra strength. Precision CNC machined, each set of knuckles and steering arms are inspected and tested for the highest quality of products that Trail-Gear can deliver.

Included in The Hilux/Pickup/4Runner Fully Loaded Six Shooter Kit is a special 6 hole shim pack for use between the top of the knuckle and the steering arm. Also included is a 1/2" coarse thread bolt to help remove the steering arms for knuckle service. To remove the steering arms, remove all 6 nuts, then install the bolt in the top of the arm. As the bolt is tightened, the steering arm is pulled up off the knuckle. Stock lower bearing plates and shims from your old knuckles are needed for knuckle assembly. A minimum of four additional steering arm studs are needed for installation. We think the Fully Loaded Six Shooter Kit is so bullet proof that we have given it our world famous no questions asked lifetime warranty.

NOTE: DOES NOT INCLUDE KNUCKLE STUDS AND HARDWARE, SOLD SEPARATELY

Can also use on 40 and 60 Series Landcruiser

 Manufactured in the U.S. using only high-strength chromoly materials, RCV Performance Ultimate 30 spline CV Axle set simply replaces your weak Toyota axle shafts with a new high-strength design. The factory axles were designed with 30 splines at the differential, and neck down to 27 Spline at the CV creating a common failure point. This axle set upgrades the weak 27 splines at the CV to a 300M 30 spline race eliminating the need to neck down the shaft.

Tests prove Ultimate CV Axles to be twice as strong as OEM shafts, and they're just as tough at a straight angle as they are at extreme angles. Even if you have big tires and big power there are no worries. Ultimate CV Axles are low maintenance and operate with a smoothness you can feel - whether off road or on the street.

Axle set includes right and left inner axle shafts & 2 pregreased CV joints. Black oxide coating is standard, We can accommodate custom length inner shafts as well if needed.

What makes these axles unique among any other axle set is that the inner race is made from 300M. You can tell that the race is 300M by a slight discoloration from the rest of the birfield. These are the only birfields that have this billet 300M race.

Includes:

Inner Axle Shaft -Long

Inner Axle Shaft -Short

2 - 4340 Chromoly and 300M RCV Birfields

2- Inner Hub Gears, 4340 Chromoly

Birfields come pre-greased. Always use moly based grease for CV Axles and Birfields.
