Project: More Clearance 2- INSTALLED!!!

[Jack8542]

  those axles are lookin sick.   the whole no money thing works great when doing totota axles everything is cheap i love them          

[Hyena]

Im pretty much done with the front axle.  Just need to clean the housing and third.  If my truck doesn't sell they might just go on it.

[MidgetMike]

Is that thing done yet    How about you bring it over an I test it for you     

[Hyena]

I will have to pass on that one!   

[MidgetMike]

I will have to pass on that one!   

that's all right I like pushin rocks out of my way anyhow 

[Hyena]

I got the rear axle clearanced.  I cut the bottom off and plated it, welded it inside and out.  Did that faster then the front, only took me 2 days!(at ashool)   I still need to plate the back of the diff and grind it all down, then put in the new fill plug up top.  Hopefully they will be leakproof!   

[Hyena]

Everything is done except for grinding.  I need to grind down everything.  I cut the shock mounts off, they were welded on crappy by who ever had the axle.  I need to fill in some divits i made with thr torche.  I somehow managed to break a bolt in one of the bottom holes.  It wouldn't turn anymore and it wouldn't come out, so i used force and it just broke.  We drilled it out and tapped it, and it seems to work now.  Im thinking these are gonna go on my truck, cuzz i can't get what i want for it.  I am going to keep my 5.29's and detriot.  but the detriot will go infront, im gonna weld the rear.  And i will hopefully have longfields by then.

[Hyena]

rear housing done.  the red is paint from my bed, not rust.

[Hyena]

more.  Drain plug moved to top for new fill plug.

[Hyena]

last one.  The inside.  Then the two axles together.  Front housing is right side up, rear housing is upside down.

[Hyena]

I just need to get some longs, new U-Bolt flip, and then we can put them under my toy.

[Hyena]

They must suck badly if no one is replying.   

[dirtbag]

looks good, Brad. Too bad they're going under YOUR 84 

[Hyena]

Shaaddupp!  Well, at least someone replyed lol

[MidgetMike]

Thier lookin sweet, I'll go wheelin as soon as I get a belly pan and install my sterio, the sterio is'nt reqiured but my girl bought it for me last summer and it still isn't in and she's a little pissed 

[Hyena]

I would die without my cd player.  Thats the only thing i got since my antenna is broken, i can't get any radio stations.

[dirtbag]

at least you have a radio in your rig right now......

[Yota4life]

Looks good, so how much more clearence did you get? Im guessing about an inch or so?

[Hyena]

About an inch on the dif cover part.  And where the third mounts about 1/4 to 1/2 of an inch.

[dirtbag]

it looks good, but you're still

[Hyena]

And your just jealous cuzz i have a toy that runs!   

[dirtbag]

but I'm still not like you

[Hyena]

you can believe what ever you want.

[lilbuddy]

Nice buildup Hyena. Looks nice and clean  

[Hyena]

Thanx

[Mike D]

Hey dude don't forget to clean off the welding splatter so that don't kill your gears

[Hyena]

I cleaned up pretty much all of it.

[Jared]

i got some axle housings today at the local pick n pull. anything you recommend for i start hackin away at em?   Im gonna be using a plasma cutter to cut the axles up... What would make this easier for me since you already did it brad?

[TacoRunner]

Jared:    If you have an extra 3rd   lying around it would be a good idea to bolt-it-up the housing when you start doing your final welds, so that housing does not warp from the heat.

[Hyena]

I bolted a junk thirdmember up when i did the fianl welds on mine.  It didn't bend, so you should do that.  The main part that i am worried about is it leaking.  Just try to make the welds good so they don't leak.  I haven't tested them out yet for leaks, i am just gonna put them under and hope for the best.
