Spindle Fabrication and free design for download.

Hey guys, here is a video showing how I assemble/fabricate the baja spindles made out of Totota 4Runner hubs.
This is the file where you can get the drawings.
drive.google.com/drive/folder...
The BTPX files are for Bend Tech, however I think you'll need the sheet metal expansion to use them. However if you do it's really easy to print them actual size.
DXF should work for Autocad, and I think you should be able to print actual size with that also.
Bitmap files are for those who don't have either of the previous, you'll need to experiment to see how to print them the right size. 2 of the drawings have a scale that is 4"x2" to help you scale it correctly.
The hubs I'm using are made by Doorman, model # 950-004
You'll need some 12x1.25mm nuts for those.
The ball cups are for 1" uniballs. I got them at Kartek. These are the exact ones. KTK9044HD
www.kartek.com/parts/4130-chr...
This spindle is made out of mostly 3/16" steel. The caliper bracket is 1/4" and the small plate on the back of the spindle the back of the steering bracket are 1/8".
If you have direct questions you can comment below or email me at [e-mail]
If you do get the designs and happen to fab some up maybe drop me an email and share your experience or some pictures.
Thanks dudes!

[@mtnduck3674]

So the fabricator who did my spindles had the idea that he wanted to be able to find parts if something broke, no matter where he was. What he ended up doing is he based his overkill design... on a Type 1 spindle axle. It has worked so far but that's only because I drive conservatively. Your design makes sense - logically AND economically. When I break mine, I'll be leaning toward a version of your design. Well done...

[@daviddroescher]

Brake caliper centering on rotor for bracket welding. Use the shims/pads as you did then put an air hose to it clamping it proper square centered. Having the pads in stalled is important. A friend bought some weld on brackets that needed 1/4" removed the pads stuck off the edge or the rotors ( both rear as it was supposed to be kit for his Winters Quickchange). This caused the edge of the pads to not wear . The pads eventually started touching causing a gradual fade of the rear brake bias makes a dirt track car harder to setup on 1 front brake( no reason to have any brake parts on the left front for it is never on the ground 3wheel action on HP and hooked up not trick suspension.)

[@NOSLEEPATALL]

Always wanted to do something similar for the rears on my WRX cause I basically hate the factory design. Was thinking how big a billet piece I would need and how long it would take to hog out. Now you have me thinking of fabricating one as I have access to a CNC Plasma table along with my Mills and lathes. It’s going to come down with taking the measurements off the old uprights to design a better mousetrap

[@DougBugBuilder]

With a CNC plasma, mill and a lathe I think you can build a hell of a spindle. Go for it!

[@blue32nu]

I'm thinking that center brace could be a one piece design? Like the sides can be relieved and a 90. Less welding, less distortion. Anyway, awesome video and ideas you've shared.

[@electronsmove]

Love the work and video. just curious if you need 4 heim joints for this vehicle? I have seen some designs that use 2 joints with triangular A arms.

[@DougBugBuilder]

I'm not sure I understand. I could get away with that in the rear. But because of the steering I need a heim on the top and bottom.

[@electronsmove]

@@DougBugBuilder yes but only one top and one bottom A like at the top of the "A" protodie.com/Front-A-Arm-Kit-1-14-diachassis-mount-plates_p_65.html

[@tptrsn]

Love this video! One question as a guy who likes to drift but also wants to build some travel into a suspension, do those uniballs allow for a lot of steering angle in that orientation?

[@DougBugBuilder]

These uniballs have more travel than you would think. But.... I know you drift guys really like to have a lot of steering. So if I were you I would rotate the uniballs 90 degrees. Then you will be a little (barely) limited on travel, but have all the steering you want.

[@tptrsn]

@@DougBugBuilder Thank you sir!! Much appreciated! :)

[@burdenofmany7282]

Just discovered you. Awesome job in describing almost everything. I couldn't find it in your build list but what size is the uniball joint you use at both ends? Also, what size heim joints are you using for everything. Thanks in advance

[@DougBugBuilder]

These are the uniballs I used, www.kartek.com/parts/fk-rod-ends-1-id-2-18-od-hin16ta-ptfe-coated-uniball-spherical-bearings-f2-fit.html On the front suspension I used 3/4"heims. On the rear I used 7/8" heims. Here is a link to part numbers for most of the build these spindles went on, docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1n8L7M1jR3XAbXaAWAL_Lvfw-Sfx-_EL6ZaZP9neOS6g/edit#gid=0

[@EBERTHENACCION]

You are just a dude, that has a wonderful craftsmanship and fabricating quality!! There is this idea roaming mi mind, and I want to know if you ever considered it too, I am tinking about using a vanagon syncro transmission and convert the baja into a 4x4 baja bug? it is not a really big challenge after all you have done already.

[@DougBugBuilder]

I'm not really interested in making a 4wd bug. But I did think how easy it would be with these spindles. Just a couple changes and you could easily get a driveshaft through there. Go for it dude! 😉

[@daos3300]

'just some dude' just made a great video. looking to eventually make some drop spindles for my type 3, this is a great resource. out of interest, what was the final weight of each spindle?

[@DougBugBuilder]

So I've had some people asking about the weight of these spindles and the weight of my combo spindles for comparison. I don't have that info yet but I think I'll do a little segment where I compare the two and do weights of each so people can see the difference. So I think the short answer is give me a little time and I'll get you that info. But I can say these new spindles are quite a bit heavier as the 4Runner hubs are heavy compared to the Jamar aluminum hubs on the combo spindles.

[@feralkev371]

Hey mate, I’m really getting a lot of great info on this for my project. What hub assembly do you use to build these off I would be interested in getting them for my build. I’m sure Australia has a limited market unlike the us of a. Cheers Kev.

[@DougBugBuilder]

Those are hubs from a 2006 Toyota 4Runner. They need to be the ones from the 2wd model. Mine specifically Doorman #950-004 Hope that helps.

[@MrDesparza]

Hey buddy, I had a question about your spindles. So I'm wanting to build some for my long travel A-arm for the front. What are you using to sandwich everything together to the hub assembly? Or would the pressure be ok on the hub? Most of the videos I see have some kind of weld on spindle to sandwich from one the inner side to the outside of the hub? Love watching your videos because of the detail you give! Just stuck on that part

[@DougBugBuilder]

So like you said typically a hub like this depends on the "stub shaft" or "axle" to draw it together. But this specific hub is for a 2wd 4Runner. So from the factory it would not have an axle in the front. So this hub has a large nut on the back side that is threaded to the outside portion. And that nut is what draws the whole assembly together. It looks like a regular hub, except on the back there is a large nut. I hope that makes sense. If you want to look it up these are Doorman hubs Part# 950-004, meant for 2wd 4Runner. Or for comparison the Doorman Part# 950-001 hubs for a 4x4 4Runner. These are what I run in the rear.

[@MrDesparza]

@@DougBugBuilder that's freaking awesome! I didn't even know they made those. Such a smart way to build around with those. By chance do you know if they made them in 5 lug like a 5x4.5 pattern ?

[@DougBugBuilder]

@@MrDesparza I don't know that. But what you can do is find out what vehicles have that bolt pattern. Then see if that vehicle came in 2wd. Look for something 2000 or newer. Seems earlier than that they were still using typical bearing and jam nut style hubs.

[@Fael03]

Wooooow!!!!

[@DougBugBuilder]

lol, Thanks!

[@Joshe907]

What brake calipers and pads are you running? Planning out my build and I like the idea of having single disc lighter rotors but I cant seem to find many 6 lug options.

[@DougBugBuilder]

This spindle is designed to use stock 4Runner rotors. Then I cut off the vented rotor with a grinder. Smooth it out with a lathe. And then you have a single rotor. The calipers will be Wilwood 120-5081.

[@kuz_DadNo1]

Hey Doug. Awesome work. I'm just researching in prep to start working on my 1970 GMC truck, and will definitely use your tips and hints with my build. It's awesome that guys want to share with other enthusiasts without trying to make a fortune on it... Just as an idea, wondering if you thought it's possible to make the spindle face and caliper bracket as one piece without welding together later causing more distortion. I'm thinking of trying that route...making the caliper bracket side little larger than required and leaving mounting holes for later. Once assembled, then I could center the caliper on the rotor to know where to place mounting holes...and make any necessary shaping to the bracket. ...all your tips and work are much appreciated.

[@DougBugBuilder]

That technique would work, I just thought this would be easier. Another thing you need to consider is any offset. Depending on your rotor you might need to offset the bracket some. Just double check it before you design the faceplate.

[@scottcowen4071]

Here's a way to do your calipers easier, install the pads and hold shop air against it to simulate brakes applied then it will be perfectly centered

[@DougBugBuilder]

Thanks for the tip. 👍

[@SomethingEternal]

I'm restoring a very worn down vehicle for an upcoming move to another state. Since I used to live in said state, I'm sadly all too aware that regardless of how structurally efficient this is.. my vehicle would be failed at safety inspection for this assembly. If it remotely looks fabricated or does not follow OEM design principles: they fail it. That isn't how the statutes read. But state inspection is not the kind of the thing to involve lawyers in, and their paranoia is the natural reaction to the state taking licenses from inspectors as aggressively as they do. Yay for Commonwealth states... Can't wait until 2026. My involvement with that state ends that year, and we're planning to move to North Dakota afterward unless plans change in that time.

[@DougBugBuilder]

Yeah I hear you, this vehicle is not street legal. It's meant for OHV parks and tracks primarily. I think going forward it will be more and more difficult to customize street legal vehicles.

[@golfish8589]

Awesome stuff. I am dreaming up my first build. Make sure when you say. "I made them exactly the same" that you tell us why. Is it because they need to be? Or its your OCD. Not everyone has all the nice tools to quickly cut and smooth things out.

[@DougBugBuilder]

Well, a little of both. But really it's a matter of trying to get all the dimensions perfect, because when you weld these parts together the heat is going to distort everything a little bit. If the parts are all square and even to begin with then the distortion will be minimum.
