good day and diff guard help
« on: March 04, 2006, 18:29:25 »
Fitted steering guard and destroyed valance today with invaluable help from Mr Landy Loony. Pics in gallery if interested.

Liitle advice on rear diff guards we both have purchased the standard round bearmach design but don't fit between diff and fule tank.
Any ideas anyone.

Thinking jacking the rear to allow diff to drop.

Rear Diff Guard
« Reply #5 on: March 05, 2006, 17:17:55 »
Had the same problem when fitting my rear diff guard. Solved it by jacking up the rear of the truck against the body thus letting the axle drop down to the length of its travel. Just choose your spot carefully and use something to spread the load if necessary.

I've just got what you mean about it not fitting, you mean you can't fit it (I hope) and if so, try putting your ramps on diagonally opposite wheels to cross-axle the car.
