Rev 9" Skid Plate!
Mr. Blaine I finished that project. Your spare diff came in handy!
This is a first version done quickly today, to go wheeling and try it tomorrow! What a bunch of angles, the next one will be a little different, but this should work. Hopefully no more hanging up or breaking hubs. I'll call you about bringing that stuff to you early next week! mark |

I like it! Is there an 8.8 version in the works? If not, you can use mine to prototype one.

After grinding up the bolts on my HP9, I was thinking of doing something similar. Looks great!

Unbolt it. The skid is bolt on and easily removes. |

Okay, I'm a retard and haven't had enough sleep and/or coffee.
Do you have a pic of this when it's not on the axle? I'm having trouble wrapping my mind around the mounting |

Mounting Qs
The pinion area just invision a real strong muffler clamp. The housing has tabs welded to it outside of the center section. When the skid is unbolted there is nothing in the way of removing the center diff section. hinkley |

why not extend the skid to protect the pinion u-joint?
EDIT: like this one |

It's just a skid plate, not unbendable. First time it bent from a hard hit you would havve even more problems. hinkley Edit after yours, It's for a High pinion anyhow. |
