Laminating Diffs
Posted: Fri Sep 23, 2011 8:26 am
Changing out my suspension and putting lockers in in the coming weeks, and I thought while everything is in bits I should brace up the front - and maybe rear diff.
A boilermaker friend of mine will be doing the actual welding, I'm trying to decide on weather I should cut up my own gussets and bracing, or use a ready to weld kit, like this http://www.roadrunneroffroad.com.au/ARB ... h-kit.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
It looked more comprehensive than what I was planning, and the price doesn't seem too bad. I'm pretty rough on gear so preventative protection is always a good idea. In regards to rear diff, how beneficial is it to brace? Doesn't get as much dozer blade treatment as the front but if it's out, I might as well do it.
I will be using super flex arms, and I'm aware that I might need to grind some of the bracing off to suit. Anyone have some tips or advice?
