Hey does anyone make cool covers for the axle ends of the 8-bolts. . .I have a 14-bolt FF rear and a D44 HD FF 8-lug front.

Those 8 bolts are your axle shaft.

Do you know how a full floating differential works?

Those pics you posted I honestly have no clue what they are... some Toyota crap?

Those definitely are not "some Toyota crap" as you so eloquently put it. . .

. . .they are run on top of the line desert trophy trucks. . .so crap they are not!

Yes I know how my axles work and yes I know that my axle flanges are my end caps. . .I was wondering if someone made some metal discls that cover the ends of the axle flanges so I could dress up the center of my wheel a little. . .that's all.

Oh ok... I honestly have never heard of such a thing... Those are clearly more than just a cover though... they look like they're at least 2-1/2" deep.

....

Upon using my Google skills those are just hub assemblies for the FRONT of the truck. The front of a 2wd truck nonetheless. Not a cover for full floaters.

So for our purposes they are indeed crap

Once again. . .I know what they are, where they go, and where they came from (the second set is from Blitzkrieg Offroad). . .

. . .once again, all I want to know is if someone makes nice covers for our axle flanges. . .if not no biggie, maybe I will machine some up myself.
