These will be available soon. http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthre ... ob&page=28" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

jason you have your finger on the pulse!
i think that hell fire just got another customer for these knuckles.

Those knuckles will be a much better option than the Marks ones, that I think have really missed the boat, especially with the pricing.

Those knuckles that Billybob's making look solid ay. Jason, any idea of pricing yet?

Cheers

someone has to bring the lolz

i have the Slee off road hi steer arms on my 80 diff in my bundy, But the question has been asked WHY 80 diff and putting leaves??

Evan

because leaf springs are the shiznitz!

duhh!

thanks for the kind words guys.

product is still being tested while production is under way. they're getting some good beating and i have yet to tighten a steering arm stud. i used to have to tighten them a few times per trip but these havent loosened or moved in 5 trips.

i'm glad i went with this knuckle design after seeing a broken stock knuckle on my old rig. the studs held up but it blew out the bottom of the knuckle. this new knuckle has a ton of beef where the arm attaches to it so i'm not worried about the failures that a stock knuckle can see.

U.S. pricing will be around $850 (hopefully less if i can work that out) for a complete set of knuckles, arms, and necessary hardware. locktup will be selling these to youguys but i'm not sure of pricing in your neck of the woods just yet.

thanks for any and all interest in these. you wont be disappointed.

Billy wouldn't costing be lowered if you made them similar to the 6 shooter knuckles that trailgear sell? By that I mean making both knuckles interchangable. Having both left and right caliper tabs fitted to the one knuckle? Then you only need to have the one casting and one machining set up. Or is there something about the 80 knuckle that wont allow this?

Bring them on billy. I have been following the manufacture and waiting until they are released. Im definately down for a set. Any chance of an early set for a trial run here in aus?

I have a set of toyota hi steer arms that were going to go on a 60 if anyone knows someone who wants them.
Standard 4 stud knucle type.

See ya on the bus nub

ev you should put up a photo of your ones.

That knuckle gives me movement in my "special place"

I dont know if this mob is still in existence as the website looks old but...

why has no one tried these?

http://www.ottindustries.com/fj80.htm

they look similar to the SLEE ones?

just a thought.

Yeah, I looked at them ages ago. But as it says you have to send your knuckle in (meaning over sea's). Didnt give it another look. Ive even designed my own. Its like jmac's but it incorperates the brake bolt (like cranky's) and also the full steering lock bolts. To stop any sheer affects. Thats as far as I got. Ive been following this build on another forum for a while with baited breath. Hopefully they arent too expensive, but they look the goods. I especially like the fact they have a bolt to adjust king pin preload.

Those Trailgear knuckles with both caliper mounts sound like a good idea. Does that mean it is possible to fit two calipers on one disc? That would be a good way to get heave cruiser with 35s to pull up. I'm looking at something like that for my 80 diff conversion.

i have great brakes even on 40's. Your system needs attention

Mine pulls up great but there is always room for improvment when it comes to brakes. Safety first. LOL

Full braided brake line kit $650 with dot 5 world of difference.

no but it expands a shit load less than rubber which is all you would get for $650.

be careful when changing to dot 5, it HATES glycol fluid.... make sure you flush the system VERY good and make sure if someone else is servicing your car/ brakes that they know it has dot 5

so replacing those short pieces of rubber lines, for $650, makes a noticable difference to your braking?

i call BS

The rubber hoses from the diff to the chassis and from the steel lines to the calipers can expand alot under pressure. Braided hoses do not expand and are alot more wear and heat resistant. You get a much more confident firm feeling brake pedal too.

But $650 is a big ask.
