These things are pretty beefy. Made out of 1/4 steel, and they fit the diff awesome. They are wled on so they are a little more difficult to install, but they look like they will hold up really well.   Jim Reynolds (4x4xfar) Senior Member Username: 4x4xfar Post Number: 307 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Thursday, January 29, 2004 - 02:42 pm:    Will is the bottom a microwave kitchen guard??

I prefer diff guards that provide protection for all of my kitchen appliances   Eric N (Eric_n) New Member Username: Eric_n Post Number: 19 Registered: 01-2004 Posted on Thursday, January 29, 2004 - 03:52 pm:    Yes, they are for sale and on his website.   Will Cupp (W_cupp) Senior Member Username: W_cupp Post Number: 315 Registered: 07-2003 Posted on Thursday, January 29, 2004 - 06:03 pm:    My wife loves it when I bring truck parts into the kitchen.   Victor (Vabiro) Member Username: Vabiro Post Number: 179 Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Thursday, January 29, 2004 - 06:43 pm:    Will, They look great, but where would you weld them to on the differential?

I hope to install them this weekend, maybe I can take some pictures.   Victor (Vabiro) Member Username: Vabiro Post Number: 180 Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Thursday, January 29, 2004 - 07:29 pm:    Thanks. I've always wondered about that.

These were much easier to install than I first thought. As you can see... I needed diff guards... I used a wire wheel on a angle grinder to clean up the paint and oil on the diff housing and diff guard. I welded the guard into place useing four 1" welds. And, I was done. Repeat for the rear.   Dean Brown (Deanbrown3d) Senior Member Username: Deanbrown3d Post Number: 1397 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Sunday, February 01, 2004 - 01:05 am:    Hmm, novel idea to make the fill plug and cut-out actually line up (unlike the RN version I have)!
