just make some armor for your diff so rocks cant get to the bolt. Ive heard of drain bolts coming loose, definantly not anything new.

 

Just weld a small tack, when you need to change the oil you can then break it.

 

i like the tackin idea never thought of that! thanxs guys!

 

how does the round one come loose?

 

Grinding over rocks. Once the first rock grabs hold and spins it some, they come out really easy.

The solution is to weld the drain plugs in place. Then replace the bottom two third member studs with bolts. To drain the oil, just remove these two bolts.
