Outer Limits 4x4 Board

No my diffs arnt hairy
Thinking that when I do my SAS I will shave the bottom of my diffs for more clearance and use thicker plate for rock proofing.
So those that have done it have you had any probs?
Does the shaving reduce the oil capacity any worth worrying about? Particluly in the rear diff that is spinning all the time on road.Doesnt get to hot or anything?
Also do you reckon an engineer would have any problems with it (no drain plug)?

Those who have done it post up some pics too.

I've done it one both diffs in my hilux. I used 6mm plate and haven't experienced any side effects. Saved about an inch and it makes it heaps smoother. By removing the drain plug and surround and welding them up alone you'll save about 15mm and make it heaps smoother. The reduced oil capacity will make f-all difference.
