This is it! The Toyota 8" Axle Housing. This axle housing is a touch different than you are used to seeing from housing fabricators, this housing is not quite round! To put it simply, if it was round it would be weaker. The Toyota housing has 1/8" clearance on a 5.29 Toyota Ring gear because of the fairly standard use of that gearset in a toyota third member. The result is an axle housing that is the smallest shape possible and strongest shape too, AND there are no abrupt edges to hang up on passing rocks. We have been working on these Axle Housings for a long, long time. And its about time! It has been over 2 years and I finally found a bender capable of the accuracy we needed to do it right! I initially designed these in October of '06 and continued to modify the basic design over the next year, asking customers opinions and testing small changes til I was happy with it.

Thats right, its nearly round! But its not......but it lets it be small and I see Axle Housing clearance improvements only slightly behind strength as the primary reason to use a fabricated housing. It has 14 different surfaces to make the semicircle......We could have made it round but its substantially stronger with the bends, each one reinforcing the next and a stronger shape just dosen't exist for an Axle Housing..... They are available in 1 length (65") and you can cut them if you need shorter. They will come in 1 tube diameter and thickness but you can try and convince me that 3 1/2" x 3/8" wall DOM isn't strong enough. They will all be internally reinforced the same way (way strong). You will have the option of front or rear and left or right drop. You will have the option of Trussed or not but we are not showing the truss til release because it is unique and much stronger than I have seen in the Rocks or the Desert..... We will be making end flanges and hub/spindle combos but we are not yet decided on final hub specs and I don't personally like unit bearings so that is yet to be decided. Presently there are many companies making good options for the ends so we can wait and make one better as we concentrate on them.
