Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey guys I'm in the middle of bracing my gu front diff. But would like to see some pics of front diff lamination and gussets.

Also what can be done to protect rear diff also.

Any suggestions would be great.

I will post pics when I'm finished

Regards
Mitch

Just did mine a week ago. Gq though.

Nice bracing is that a superior kit?

Also do you have plans to brace rear diff?

Regards
Mitch

Yeah it's the superior kit, the way to go I reckon. I plan to do the rear pumpkin at some stage, dunno about bracing it though, havnt really seen any rears bend

This is the neatest one that I have seen, nice and compact. The owner doesn't have any info about it, it was done before he bought it.
Does anyone know what kit this is?

Yeh that's a pretty good kit. I was going to go superior but found a race bred 4x4 kit for $145 delivered.

Includes top truss, knuckle gussets, drain plug protector, control arm mount gussets, controls arm weld on washers, a triangle plate to weld to the passengers side of pumpkin where the welds crack and also a pumpkin plate. Was a lot of gear and cheap.

Ill post pics when I'm in front of computer.

i like the look of your bracing Wicked, but do you have dramas with water and mud getting stuck in there?

It's protection not bracing dude. No it's absorbent, needs changing after every run tho!

This is the brace kit i bought of race bred 4x4 suties my needs as the top truss isn't to high. I had the housing sand blasted before hand.

Sorry about pics they are just of my phone.

I've done a hilux one and will be doing a gq one in a few weeks but I think theyd look the same

I want to see if they are a closer fit for the panhard clearance.

Can you please post pic looking down from the top when its done. So you can see how far it sticks out. Cheers

Thats fine, I just want pic a guard fitted, looking down from the top.

Diff can be in or out of the car doesn't matter.

There $100 I think dude, give it a shot!




Only pics we could find and it'll be weeks before I start my mate diff.

Thanks for pics Wicked.

Its hard to tell from those pic. Do you think the Buds one is closer fit and would have better clearance for the panhard? Compared to a superior diff guard.

I have a superior gaurd on mine, I had to scallop mine for my steering arm.
I'd have bought a buds one if the where out back then.

Not the best pic sim but here's mine

Thanks Wicked thats a fare scallop. I'll order buds one tomorrow. Cheers

Thats where first seen it, at your place. I only had quick look as I was looking at buy your car.

I filled in the gap that was left between the pumpkin & plate with sickaflex, to make it a sealed unit.(I didnt want dirt,mud & sh!t jamed in behind it)
I went for a wheel the other day, I wish I had the orange pig back already.

I'll ask for that gap to be welded.
