So lets go to the land of make believe and pretend for a minute that the felt and rubber wiper seals Toyota used are actually capable of holding a fluid like lubricant (which they are not as proven by the many that have tried). What would prevent the any viscous lubricant from working its way right down the spindle, and filling the hub full of lube, then leaking from one of the seals at the hub that were never designed to keep in anything but a light smear of grease?
I've seen this happen when axles are rebuilt using a variety of things other than what has been proven to work (again referring to the thousands of rigs out there running millions of miles on #2).
When you have 5 vehicles with a minimum of 50k miles each, then you can give us a report of your findings and only then will I change my mind. But its longevity and duplicability has not remotely because you rebuilt a knuckle (or a differential lol) a week ago and it doesn't appear to be leaking yet. Has it even been in 4WD for extended periods?
Can we see some pictures of said vehicle and some pictures of the knuckles post rebuild by you?

Yeah ummmm, that is NOT a Toyota axle. Lets stay on subject here. I've told you over and over I could care less what you have done on other axles, they are not the same design regardless of how 'close' you think they are or how Toyota obtained the rights. Each and every comment I have made, question I have asked or theory I have developed is in regards to Toyota axles.
So let me clarify. Lets see some pics of the TOYOTA knuckles that you overhauled. And would the owner care to verify that it is leak free in say 50k miles?

Can we lock this thread already? I think all the points have been made and the bickering is getting old. I have never so much as driven a solid front axle toyota let alone worked on the axle. But, having read online I think that I am now an expert on all things front axle-Toyota, Dana, whatever. Don't listen to backwoods, don't listen to Kurt, I think we should put a light teflon spray on everything and I will offer a warranty of 2 million miles because teflon is the SHIZNIT!!!!! Please call me and I will hook you up with the miracle toyota rebuild and you can steer clear of all the conspiracies and the toyota quick sand.

I don't need to pay money to get a oil analysis company to tell me that there is NGLI 2 in the knuckle.

Why would the wheel bearing grease even be able to migrate to the knuckle? They are separated by a wheel seal and a spindle

OK, you report back to us when you have a handful of TOYOTA axles running your goop for 50k + miles with no issues. Nobody is arguing that the fluid itself won't last, just that it won't stay in the knuckle.

Huh??? You bet your ass they recommend a service interval on repacking the wheel bearings! Where did you come up with that assumption? Your pulling facts out of mid air here. How can we even begin to take your advice for face value when you confuse issues.
For reference, the same Toyota Motor Corporation manual that recommends NGLI 2 in the knuckle (and the other half dozen manuals I just referenced), also recommends a "Replace, Change or Lubricate" on teh Front wheel bearings every 30,000 miles for the solid axle vehicles. So where did you come up with that BS assumption?

Why would I care what JTOutfitters calls the correct grease? Your the one looking for the answer, I've known it all along
You know I think the boys on Mud said it best "Backwoodsgoon is like poison ivy... the more attention you pay to it the worse it gets.". I just read through the thread that got you banned over there, amazingly you were told the exact same things as here?? Not just by some random forum members either, some of the biggest names in the Cruiser world lol, you tried to tell an automotive engineer how a bearing works, then you try and pass off the same bearing info here. Man you are dense.
