Wandering aimlessly
Im in the market for a new rear diff guard. My last one appears to be MIA. I was thinking a QT services one, but would like some input on them and others. I had a DAP on the rear but didnt weld it on (yes i know that was a dumb move) and now its gone.

thanks

I would not go with a QT guard. I had one for a while and always felt a bit uncomfortable that the side of the diff cover were unprotected. I switched back to a SG guard (tack welded on) after the two bolts that secure one end of the QT guard to the bottom of the diff housing sheared off. Not sure why they did buy my guard had defintely seem some action. Could have been sure force or perhaps the bolts had backed out some too, weakening the setup. SG guard and a Rockware rear pinion guard is a good combo.
