Fully Loaded Six Shooter Knuckle Kit
$335.00
Knuckle studs sold separately.
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 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.
Kit Includes:
- Knuckles (2)
- Steering Arms (2)
- Shims

Rock Assault™ Trunnion Bearing Eliminator Kit
$219.00
Anyone who wheels hard, rock crawls, or rock races has experienced blown up trunnion bearings, no matter what size bearings they are using, the bearing is always the point of failure. The Rock Assault™ Trunnion Bearing Eliminator Kit totally eliminates the bearings and replaces it with a solid king pin style pin that sits in a hardened bushing. The pin and bushing are made out of a material that is considered bearing quality because of its high carbon content, which gives it extreme hardness. To make sure these pins provide you with smooth steering we have added zerk grease fittings and machined the pins with grease passages and grooves so that they can easily be lubricated without any disassembly of the steering knuckle.
The Rock Assault™ Trunnion Bearing Eliminator Kit can be installed in a matter of hours and does not require you sending us your steering arms to be machined. You simply press out the pins in your 4 or 6 stud steering arms and press in the provided Trunnion Bearing Eliminator pins. The bottom pins have been preinstalled in the bottom caps and simply drop in after the lower bushings have been installed. Since you will need to disassemble your knuckle assembly to complete this install a full knuckle service kit is provided so that you can replace all seals, gaskets, and shims.
Note: Due to various machining tolerances in the current steering arms on the market, some slight reaming may be required.
Kit includes:
- (4) Steering pins
- (4) Steering pin bushings
- (4) Zerk grease fittings
- (2) Trunnion bearing cap
- (1) Knuckle service kit

Rock Assault™ High Steer Kit
$335.00
When installing a Rock Assault™ Front Axle Housing and using a hi steer kit, a longer drag link and tie rod will be required to compensate for the axle housing being 3" longer then a stock housing. If you already have a hi steer kit you can simply purchase the longer drag link and tie rod, but if you are buying the Rock Assault™ Front Axle Housing and the Rock Assault™ High Steer Kit at the same time you will get the proper length tie rod and drag link.
Note: 6-Stud steering arms are only available in left hand drive. Rod ends are NOT covered by the No Questions Asked Lifetime Warranty.
*Will only work on our Rock Assault™ Front Axle Housings*
