Ek het die diff guard in lewende lywe gesien en dit lyk baie goed. Peter ry nou nie meer met 'n Patrol nie, maar met 'n TENK.

Roland, Alex

The front end of the rear diff is super strong, probably stronger than any guard you can bolt onto it.

The rear of the rear diff would need protection if you were in the habit of reversing trails instead of driving forwards?

If you guys really want one, I can make it, but I seriously doubt that it's necessary? Keep in mind that you need to be a little bit carefull reversing in really rough terrain anyway, as the fuel tank is there too!

I agree with PC about a rear diff guard not being required. Remember that all the extra bits of steel that we bolt to our vehicles add up and increase fuel consumption/reduce useable payload...

Tinus, you are going to have to get some bright yellow bow shackles for the rear of your Troll :biggrin: .

Those guys that wanted theirs un-galvanized, can come and collect!

The galvanized ones should be finished by the weekend.
