If you're serious about performance, you know that having the right parts is crucial. That's where Eagle comes in. They've been around long enough to earn a solid reputation among gearheads and builders alike. Their focus on quality and customer service has built a loyal following, and honestly, it shows in their products. A few years back, they expanded their lineup to include crankshafts and beefed up their offerings in connecting rods. With constant design tweaks and improvements in materials, it's no wonder they're the go-to name for aftermarket connecting rods and crankshafts.

Now, let’s talk about these Eagle Extreme Duty Connecting Rods. Crafted from forged 4340 steel, these H-Beam rods are built to take a beating. They’re made through a two-piece forging process, which means they’re not just slapped together. Each rod is fully machined, shot-peened, and polished to a smooth finish. Eagle holds tight tolerances on sizing, so you know you’re getting a precise fit every time. Just make sure to specify the weight you need when you order, especially if you’re pushing your setup to the limits.

These rods are designed for the most extreme applications, so whether you're building a race engine or just want to ensure your daily driver can handle the heat, these are a solid choice. They come in a set of four, and each one is fitted with 3/8" ARP Custom Age 625+ bolts, which are known for their strength and reliability. The center-to-center length is 5.315", with a pin size of 0.945" and a typical weight of around 600 grams. Plus, they’re bushed for a full-floating piston pin, which is a nice touch for performance builds.

As for fitment, these rods are compatible with the Toyota 2RZ engine in the Tacoma 4x2 from 1995 to 2004, and the Hilux from 1998 to 2004. So if you’re working on one of those models, you’re in luck. These rods are ready to help you push your engine to new heights.

Who is EAGLE?

EAGLE SPECIALTY PRODUCTS, aka EAGLE, has been at the forefront of developing top-quality engine components. The company officially started back in 1992 but has been developing their product for ten years prior.  Since the company started, it has continuously produced some of the market's best engine components and is widely used by engine builders worldwide.

Imitated But Not Duplicated

Due to the company's success, its products have been imitated by other companies even up to the part numbers. But the similarity ends only up to how they look. EAGLE uses the finest materials and has invested in the most state-of-the-art manufacturing machinery for them to create a product that would be able to take any punishment it is subjected to. It is tested to be superior to other brands and considered the best upgrade for OEM counterparts.

No To Shortcuts

The company sets the benchmark on how valves should be properly made. Using their years of experience creating rods, they have already designed over 200 different rods and 180 crankshafts. The company does not allow cost to compromise its material used, manufacturing process, and quality test. 

High-End Quality

All of Eagle's products are made up of high-quality materials. They use certified 4340 Chromoly steel. Using their own special heat treatment process, they are able to create a product that is much stronger compared to other competitors using the same raw material. 

They manufacture their rods using a 2-piece forging process that allows the rod to be stronger. This process orients the "grain" of the metal to the direction of the stress. Eagle uses a state-of-the-art Sunnen Krossgrinding system that allows them to create perfect cuts and bore consistently.
