    Might want to use a steel strap setup.

    Don't recall what the fins on the diff look like... but my gut feeling tells me there's not enough material there to bolt something to that's expected to be bashed against rocks.

    I'm trying to remember a similar steel strap setup I've seen..... basically only one side would have a bolt and that's used to tighten it down.... I can visualize it, just can't remember the application...

    I am liking the products SA is coming out with lately..

    This thing looks like it will be beefy, and a much needed mod for anyone on the rocks. I know I am always paranoid im going to bash my rear diff on some random rock.

    I bang my dif all the time its pretty stout though I worry more about hitting the yoke on stuff especially when climbing big ledges this would solve that issue as well

    Everyone had questions and some concerns about the sliders as well if we remember. So some good testing of these on camera of course will settle everyone's concerns and then probably fly of the shelf. Another fine product man!
