Where can i get some weld on diff guards from?

Firstly that's a very bad idea...why would you weld them on? You'll need to take them off to access other areas. And it isn't rocket science. Measure up and cut some steel and bolt them on.

Mine are welded on. They are made using 8" steel pipe caps

I like that idea. I was wondering what to use on mine, as I've "dinked" them, and don't want them to get worse.

There might be a chat with a local fabricator this afternoon.

The reason I want to weld them on is because iv heard that bolt on ones bend easier.

You only need to protect the diff pan anyway so welding it on won't cause any issues. I would add bigger drains than the ones on mine though, it's a nightmare to get all the mud out with only a small drain hole

Mine's bolt on for that reason...all the crud that collects in there is just going to cause rust issues and less you can take it off and clean everything!

I just hose mine out when I clean the rest of the vehicle

Scottie - how much were the pipe caps?

Its a real shame Rob no longer makes these. Have a pair on mine, work a treat.
