I personally think just the weld on strip is plenty.
My biggest concern would be continued hits to the diff guard would result in damaged radius arm bolts.


Who sells the weld on strip, I haven't seen those?


I got mine from off road armoury.

I do not think they sell them anymore.

Maybe Rockwatt/RAM could make you something similar?

Would you not be worried about the bottom of the diff housing?

Or is it just the front that is the weak spot?

The ORA one has (had?!) an L shape so that it protected the bottom / leading edge of the diff..



Ahhh... the iPad has it at the wrong angle... please bend your neck 90degrees to the left ;) LOL

My mate fired up his furnace to create this, which he kindly welded on for me!

It's nice being mates with a welder/fabricator/blacksmith!

Yes that's plenty unless of course you plan on bashing into rocks constantly in that case you have the wrong axles
