Had fun prepping 'er for the fitment and weld. I did notice your spare was pretty freakin loose though when I grabbed it to get out from under the Toy. Just a thought. Those diff covers are burly.

Are you going to do anything to defend the drain plugs as well?

Marc P Oct 9, 2006 06:37 AM

Not doing anything with the drain plug except installing the low profile plug that comes with the armor...

Note to anyonme buying this armor....it does require some grinding to fit right.

Looks good Marc. BEEFY!
Now you just need to get rid of the Elvis's (shakes and shimmies) in your drivetrain.LOL

Working on that Eric...I may take that fancy driveshaft off the rear and put my stock one on for now.

Is there anything else you can do with the drain plug? I beat the heck out of mine a couple of weeks ago and had to grind it down on the sides to fit the socket.

Marc P Oct 9, 2006 09:07 PM

It comes with low profile plugs that use a 10mm hex instead of the 24mm socket

I see.

Marc P Oct 11, 2006 12:09 PM

I guess my truck will be in the new Trail-Gear add for the diff covers.

Superstardom!!

Very cool, Marc! :great:

ecchamberlin Oct 11, 2006 03:56 PM

So does this mean you are "sponcored"? J/K

I can now say I knew you before you were famous!

Sleeper Oct 11, 2006 07:21 PM

Marc P Oct 11, 2006 07:29 PM

You will need to ask Goldmember...not me...I am not the show stopper.

This is what I do for my drain plugs and diff armor:

Even the low profile plugs will get bashed up and knocked loose on the trail. I see one knocked loose every couple of wheeling trips I go on. Cheap fix is just to weld them into place.
