There seems to be a bar in front of the diff that is preventing me from installing it. How do I disconnet this bar is it hard to do?   Will Bobbitt (Rkores) Senior Member Username: Rkores Post Number: 274 Registered: 09-2002 Posted on Tuesday, April 29, 2003 - 07:10 am:    Unbolt the passenger side...It is the panhard rod Will   Carter Simcoe (Carter) Senior Member Username: Carter Post Number: 2342 Registered: 04-2002 Posted on Tuesday, April 29, 2003 - 12:07 pm:    there should be a thread about this a little further down   Jack Edwards (Olered) Senior Member Username: Olered Post Number: 325 Registered: 04-2002 Posted on Tuesday, April 29, 2003 - 12:23 pm:    Yep. My thread. Un-bolt the passenger side. Make sure you have the proper tools. It will be easier.   Nathan Hindman (Nathanh) New Member Username: Nathanh Post Number: 34 Registered: 07-2002 Posted on Tuesday, April 29, 2003 - 12:41 pm:    Once you get them both installed (you ARE doing a rear diff guard as well, right!) Take your truck down to a welders or muffler shop and have them tack weld the diff guards on. It shouldn't cost more than $20 and it provides alot of piece of mind on the trail knowing that the diff guards won't come off after a good hit on the rocks.

Maybe I was told wrong. I was told that the front guard has a "smooth" face and the rear guard has the "triangluar" welded spot on the face. My rear guard with the triangular spot is rubbing my gas tank. I've removed it for now. I'd try switching but I had to remove the pan hard rod for the front and the dealership tightened it for me. I'll probably never get it off again. Any thoughts?   Jack Edwards (Olered) Senior Member Username: Olered Post Number: 329 Registered: 04-2002 Posted on Tuesday, May 06, 2003 - 10:28 am:    Anyone?   Kris Arnott (Krisarnott) New Member Username: Krisarnott Post Number: 11 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Tuesday, May 06, 2003 - 03:34 pm:    You are correct, little triangle in the rear. Mine doesn't rub... that's $G for you! -Kris   Jess Alvarez (Jester) Member Username: Jester Post Number: 161 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Tuesday, May 06, 2003 - 11:51 pm:    On a DII, front and rear are the same. No rubbing here either. Jess
