AHH! The alloy front diff! Maybe a diff guard would be an idea? A mate made one for mine, pretty sure he'll knock one up for you too. Apart from that looked like fun!

For once it was the diff exploded due to the driver a fault, he went fairly fast up a drop, got the front wheels right off the ground, landed, the tyres gripped and exploded the diff!

hes got a diff guard for his but he hasn't fitted it yet, im going to diy one for mine, but thanks for the offer anyway mate! :doublethumbs:



Was a good day out though, spent a good 4 hours laning thanks to a bloke in a series1 landrover pointing us out too some real good lanes that went on forever.
