I don’t like diff guards. They are a major mud trap and allow the rot to eat through the diff pan in next to no time. I prefer the HD diff pans.View attachment 151009
Get a spare axle casing? Cheap enough, rebuild it, then swap?I have looked at the Gwyn Lewis ones and nearly ordered two of the DIY tacked together ones but they are a heck of a "make work" project in the short term, the QT guards especially the rear also double as a skid and help avoid the diff getting hung up or at least reduces the drag of the bottom of the pumpkin in deep ruts.
Jury is still out as I have a few trips planned and I don't really want it laid up in bits while I faff around lol
Get a leather welding jacket and gloves. Worth their weight in gold . Look at eBay item 221913649304@The Mad Hat Man I said exactly the same to @dieseldog69 the other day. I don' know why I haven't taken in off yet. Wet mud sat in there waiting to eat the casing.
Hope your right @dieseldog69 I got my first weld spark down the back of the neck yesterday lol my car work fleece looks like a hash smokers

I might have some spare bits suitable.
a leather welding jacket is a boon when welding under a truckGonna get some flame retardant overalls. I have so many t shirts getting destryed at the moment. Just cheap ones but still stupid when I could wear overalls. Did get some gauntlets after I hacked my finger and they are good. Just cheap screfix job too

yes thats the type
I was more thinking of cutting the lettering out and laying it over the lower portion and welding it on and then remaking the part they were removed from as putting them lower only reduces strength in the area likely to bebe hardest hit by a rockCut and reweld?
