White zinc rotors with nickle knuckle set, black oxide studs. Quite the color contrast. Cool Looking color combo if I do say so myself. There not crazy expensive either unless you want to give me extra for time and effort. Mama needs a new pair of shoes.

Love the look! curious to see how well that nickel will hold up to rocks and desert flora... heard it is very susceptible to scratches/chips.

Re: Flight industries fabricated knuckles and brakes
Depends on how they plate them which is why I asked if they were copper flashed first. The copper will help the nickle stick better and have greater impact resistance. EN is very durable, I have done A-arms in EN that have seen years of abuse and still look good. Last's way longer than powder coat.De$ertBronco wrote:Love the look! curious to see how well that nickel will hold up to rocks and desert flora... heard it is very susceptible to scratches/chips.

Re: Flight industries fabricated knuckles and brakes
Coming soon, the new Patent pending. D60 outer upgrade coming to #bronco and #f150 ttb's near you. These babies used with flight stub shafts will allow the use of d60 hubs in 5 on 5.5, 6 on 5.5, and 8 on 6.5 lug patterns. They can be used 2 or 4 wheel drive as a bolt on replacement for you current d44 flanged spindle snouts. They utilize a left and right hand thread so in the event of a bearing seizure the nuts get tighter vs falling off and the vehicle losing the passenger wheel and hub. They also utilize Trophy truck style pinch nuts vs the current star washer. These snouts use 2.25 and 2 inch wheel bearings vs the d44 1.75, and the bearing spread is way wider to better distribute force loads on the spindle snout. The intension of these snouts is to bridge the gap between factory OEM and race hubs and snouts. They are intended to be a very strong affordable alternative for the budget conscious. Made from heat treated chromoly these snouts will stand up to the abuse without question. . #flightindustries #broncoprerunner #prerunner #bronco #beamteam #ford #ttb #dana44 #dana60 #rockcrawler #fuckya
For 2 wheel drive applications hubs will be shortened and an anodized aluminum reusable hub cap will be provided.

I'll post pricing soon. I appreciate the interest gang.
Re: Flight industries fabricated knuckles and brakes
Are these made for Ford or GM spindles? Reason being as I am looking at the Soild 5.5 hubs.

Holy sheep shit!
What do you think? 25-30ft air? Mr. Cox has a brass pair I can say that much.

If you excluded the height of the take off and landing...probably pretty accurate.Rmc wrote:Holy sheep shit!

Ridiculous fuckin jump for everybody out there in a prerunner of some sort thats for sure! The LS sounds mean in that thing. The stuffing the day prior on the double shows the flight industry knuckles taking a beating. Good marketing footage for them to use!
