diff guards and strengthening diff.

[UTEGQ]

So yea as title say's, i'm after pics of what you guys have done and are currently running sucessfully. Because i gave mine a serious pizzling last weekend and as a result came home with dints in my punkin's. I no you can buy kits and stuff, but i'm a boilermaker and really only need a few pic's of good set ups so i can fabricate my own.
All feed back appreciated. Cheers

Even tho you can make it yourself, just get the kit from Superior, I was going to build my own (Had templates made and all) Superior's was done, easy and ALOT Neater than I was going to make it too

Steam pipe end cap.

Half for the front and half for the back. Just cut to profile accordingly and weld it straight to the diff housing.
Just remember to cut a decent size half moon shape out of the bottom where it weld to the diff so you can clean the mud out.

when you can buy the superior kit with a diff guard for $220 why would you bother mucking around? You can also just get the bracing for $90 if you want to make your own guard.

A friend of mine chopped the bottom off a gas bottle (empty obviously), cut it in half top to bottom and welded them onto his housing back to back. I reckon his diff could take a .50cal round and survive.

I did this, more or less, in 2003. It is a 10" HD pipe cap, 1/2" thick. I have kit a rock the sive of a small car at 5000rpm in third low hard enough to dry bog all 4 wheels.

I split the cap in half, trimmed 30mm of the back and put a full bevel on the inside ende to clear the radius on the diff pupkin. I plated the top in with 3mm plate to seal the cap, no drain holes. Both front and rear are capped on my ute.
