BTF diff cover? - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Izeloz · 03-18-2007, 05:20 PM

I was wondering if anyone had used a BTF 8" toy diff cover on an 8.4" tacoma axle and if it still fit okay. Thanks for any responses.

I've got the 8" cover, but it's still sitting in the box in my garage. Hell, I might try and fit it up this week, I'll let you know.

Thanks. I'm mostly wondering if their diff cover/link bracket combo will fit and work on a tacoma axle. I'm designing my 4-link and that looks like the simplest solution for my upper links.

I pm'd matt a while back. I have a 96 non trd housing and he said that it all will work and fit just fine. Give em a call and confirm if you want. easier for them to answer over the phone than here.

Is this what you're talking about? . . .

No...that is a TrailGear diff cover. I am talking about the BlueTorch Fabworks diff cover and truss system.

If it wasn't so damn wet outside I would see if the 8" would fit on a Tundra rear.

Pussy. Its just rain.

Anyhoo, its dry now so get to it!

JeepPhisherman · 05-20-2007, 06:23 PM

Meant to post up a while ago, but I forgot.

I got the 8" cover mounted up on the e-locker rear. Took a little bit of fitting, but it's on there nice and took a couple of good hits out at Katemcy Rocks and held up well.

If I remember, I'll post some pictures later.
