      Rear Axle Bash Plate (ABP)

      Protect your rear axle and add serious strength without sacrificing ground clearance. These Rear Axle Bash Plates (ABP) effectively doubles the thickness of the lower section of your 8” axle housing, reinforcing the most vulnerable area while keeping a low-profile design to preserve ground clearance. Unlike bulky bolt-on skids, this plate offers seamless protection and durability.

      Fits all 8" Toyota axle housings from 1979-current, as well as 8.2/8.4" and 8.75" axle housings 1996-current.


      Install:

      Professional installation is recommended. We are not to be held liable for improper installs that may lead to vehicle damage. The ABP should be installed at the user’s discretion.

      We recommend draining your diff fluid AFTER installing this product, and replacing with fresh fluids. This will help for cooling purposes while welding, as well as prevent potentially reaching flash point and causing a fire inside of your axle housing.
       
      Must remove diff breather before welding, built up pressure from the heat from welding can lead to damaged/leaking axle seals.
       
      After cleaning and prepping the weld surface, it is recommended that you tack the flat plate onto the axle starting with the side of the axle where the drain plug is, be sure to line up the plate as inline with the axle as possible, and slowly bend the plate around the bottom of your axle housing, placing tack welds as you go to hold the plate in place. Some hammering may be required.
      Once the plate is tacked down, and you have ensured good alignment, you can now weld the center strips. Center strips must be welded first.
      Now you can hammer and roll the outer edges of the plate to ensure a nice tight fitment along the sides of the axle housing. Once you have a good, tight gap, you can now weld the outer edge of your axle plate. We recommend welding 2-3 inch strips at a time, insuring a stable heat transfer, and reducing the chance of warping or damaging your axle housing, as well as possibly heating up your diff fluid past it's flash point.
      Once fully welded, now you may drain and fill your gear lube!
