Nice, do they drill and tap for a bigger bolt?

I know the old method of just drilling the hole out and using u-bolts works good and is a lot cheaper...

That cap is only going to be as good as the bolts holding it, and if I remember correctly, the stock size is pretty wimpy....

Plus, this is only about $7.00

The only problem is that some yokes don't have the space on the back side for a nut. These also will keep the cap in the yoke even if the cap gets loose.

But if the cap gets loose, your bolts will shear anyway :stir:

I have limited knowledge in the Jeep world, but I know I did this mod on my friend Jeff's YJ and it worked. He broke the stock straps twice, but never after...

I like the Toy flanges style. DS can be swaped with 8 bolts and no caps or needle bearings to mess with on the trail. Not sure how they'd work for a D60 though (or if they even exist)
