My question is has any one put in a trail gear inspection plug i picked one up and im wondering if any one has a opinion on what would the easy way to put this inspection plug on? (drill with hole saw. plasma cutter , oxy acetyline torch) any help is appreciated and if some one has a picture of said plug on stock yota axle that would be great.

cut a hole where you want the plug with torch, plaz then weld cap on. I will take some pics as i just did this on an ifs housing with e locker.

i would use a hole saw they are cheap and it is a super clean way to do it.. not as much grinding

Here is what I did with mine. Used a pipe fitting with a pipe plug. I used a hole saw and then cut the threads off the fitting and welded it to the housing.

that aint a bad idea, i think ill put mine on the top/back so it will give a good view of the pinion as well.

Nice low budget tech.

I did it because I was tired of using those little POS gear oil pumps to get oil into the rear housing. Now I gotta get off my ass and put one in my front housing.

I used a hole saw and it was cake. I used a slightly lager hole saw than the O.D. of the plug and recessed it in a little then weled it up. Nice and clean.

. Put mine in the other day. I can see the pinion pretty well through the hole where it is located.
