Toyota 8" Axle Housing
This USA fabricated Toyota 8" housing is made in 1 length at 72" long so you have plenty of room to make what ever style axle you want. Our axle housings are a touch different than what you are used to seeing from other housing fabricators.
We spent 2 years developing these and it was another year before we finally found a bender capable of the accuracy we needed to do it right! We initially designed these in October of '06 and continued to modify the basic design over the next 2 years.
Our Toyota housing has 1/8" clearance on a 4.10 Toyota Ring gear because that is the largest ring gear in the Toyota family. 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.
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 doesn't exist for an Axle Housing.
