Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Just wondering what you blokes normally do for diff protection on your 40 series. I have BJ42 if it makes a difference. Rang around and not many options. Minecorp could make me a diff hat for $440ish. Superior had nothing, suggested making up something out of strap steel. Any better ideas out there? Cheers.

guys on ih8mud use a bigassed pipe cap and chop them in 1/2 and weld them onto the housing


do a search over there and you will find some info

snake racing do these for less than 400

Got no idea what you are talking about dude. I never profess to be knowledgable in these areas, just try and figure something out that doesn't molest my wallet. All I need is something to to protect the diff housing when I approach rocks that will stop it from cracking and letting all the diff oil out onto the track and everyone laughing at me saying "what a c@ckhead, not having a diff protector and competing in a 40 series"

I think pipe cap is the go, any ideas where to get this in Brissy?
