Hyde builds some axles! 92 V6 on 38s build thread
Photobucket sucks. Im Sorry. Maybe one day ill get them all hosted elsewhere.
After doing the Chevy 63" spring swap, I realized that my axles needed some work to handle the 38" TSLs that Im going to run. Nothing too crazy planned, just some simple durable axles. So here goes nothing. EDIT: All my photos were hosted on photobucket... there is an add on for google chrome that will re show the pictures. Ive got a full build thread over on "that other site" too if anyone is interested. HERE My current rear axle was shot. Had rust holes in the top of diff cover and some pretty bad rock rash on the bottom of the cover. It was yanked and replaced with a housing from a 95 pickup, which I added some TG armorand low profile drain plugs and cleaned off all the tabs I wasnt going to use. http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w...9.jpg~original http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w...6.jpg~original http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w...3.jpg~original It needed a wheel bearing, so from following this site I chopped up my old housing http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w...9.jpg~original http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w...0.jpg~original And cleaned up and painted http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w...4.jpg~original We dont have a press, so I took it to a friends house, and forgot my camera, but this is how it works int he press. Photo taken from the link above http://www.4x4wire.com/toyota/mainte...s.jpg~original Marlin axle seals http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w...6.jpg~original And new shoes and hardware http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w...5.jpg~original The gears needed to be swapped because they dont match any other 3rds that I have. So Im taking the spool out of this one and putting it in a v6 4.10 diff. http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w...2.jpg~original The bearings were the original ones from 92, and where showing signs of wear, so they are getting replaced too. http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w...1.jpg~original Ruff stuff lower shock mounts on the way, and I should have my 3rd update next weekend after I pickup the 4.10s. 85 front axle to come next! http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w...e.jpg~original |
Wait, what'd you do with the old housing?
|
I cut 18.5ish" from the flange and welded some material to it to use as a Toyota SST for removing rear wheel bearings in a shop press.
I have another 1/2 of housing if anyone wants the other side to make one? |

Got the non essential brackets cut off and ground smooth and ran the knuckles through the parts washer to get the 28 years of grease off.

Trail Gear truss, I slid it down so it touched the spring perch. It took a while only welding 1" stitches at a time, but I wanted to make sure I did not not warp the housing.
http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w...0.jpg~original Trimmed the bottom perch so it wont hang up on things. TGs 84-85 ubolt flip kit came with 2 round and 2 square u bolts, but looks like it should have came with 3 square ones... ? What everyone else running for a u bolt in that spot right next to the diff? http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w...1.jpg~original Bottom gussests, one had to be trimmed to fit over the 85s longer bottom truss. http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w...1.jpg~original And the upper knuckle gusset. I added small pieces of plate to connect them to the spring perches. I also added a 3/8ths plate to the drivers side spring perch to bring it level to the passenger side perch. When doing this I made the plate 8" long instead of the stock 5ish to try to help with axle wrap, then boxed it in. http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w...1.jpg~original http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w...1.jpg~original |
Lookin' good!

You sir, (Hyde, not KidV :) ) are an inspiration.

Extended the other spring perch to match, got the last piece of armor on and did a quick paint job.

Im in the process of a headgasket on an 03 Camry for my new DD , and as soon as thats out of the shop ill be able to roll my truck back in. :nod: |

I bought a much better welder last year and haven't had a chance to play with it much yet. I'm really hoping I'll get some cleaner welds with it. |
