6 stud swivel housings

Post by beanz2 »

Just to keep you guys updated on the latest bling from Marlin Crawler:

For those of you tired of breaking your steering arm studs in a Hilux/40/60/75 these are for you. FROR's ARP steering studs will suit these housings too (so buy a set of 12 ;) )

Note the caliper mounting ears are on both sides such that it can be fitted on either side, but with the right master cylinder you can use twin calipers like in race cars :lol:

Here is the discussion:

Yeah, the only minor problem would be in landcruisers where the steel brake line that goes to the caliper fouling the 6 stud steering arm. Rebending it or making a new one shouldn't be too hard though. I think in Hiluxes the steel arm is out of the way.

I wonder what is the largest brake master that would fit on our boosters. There is a 1 1/16" master cylinder in US market Tacoma trucks but I'd imagine running twin calipers up front would take a much larger caliper.
