B.A.M.F Rear Diff skid plate

According to tests conducted this weekend, BAMF diff skids can smash granite rocks in pieces.

 

Man i so wish i got that on film it was great!!!

 

Aside from having to move the ebrake cable, would the 8" work on a 3rd gen 4Runner?

 

You guys have gas tank issues so we don't think they will fit.

 

Are there any pics from the front so I can see how far it extends pass the diff over the driveshaft? Thinking maybe it can be shorted. I didn't think that part would hit the tank.

The only rubbing I get is farther up the driveshaft.

 

^ Hey Waldo, I've got one I can take off and let you see if it will fit. I need to take it off anyway in a few more miles to change the diff oil.

 

Problem solved

 

Pm in route..

 

Anyone able to tell me how much the 8.4" skids weigh? Thanks in advance!

 

28lbs.

 

Sweet, thanks.

 

My baby now finally has her diaper on . Great work Jerry

 

Just finally got around to throwing mine on and gettin some pictures. I couldn't get the axle clamps to tighten down on the axle really, and I struggled to get the bolt just barely threaded atleast through the length of the nut. The front seemed to clamp good though. It seems I'm hitting on the passenger side corner of the skid where the axle side of the skid comes out from the front (if that makes sense). Anyways I tightened everything and it seems sturdy as hell in place even with the gaps, can't get it to budge. Figured I'd throw up some photos just incase to see if anyone sees anything wrong.

I assume it doesn't matter if the nuts are on bottom or top?

 

it looks like the weld on your axles housing is stopping the clamps from closing all the way. if you grind the weld just a little they should fit around it.

 

That is one sexy skid plate... I want one, but I really dont think I need one. No rocks near me.

 

pffft not just for rocks

 

And now about 17 months after install & use it looks like this:





I know a few folks think "diff diapers" are overkill but I for one am glad I have it.

Only removed because I'll be regearing to 4.56 with lockers next week.

Awesome product Jerry!

 

You just convinced me!!

 

Looking good man thats how armor should look after 17 months i see guys that bought when you did and they look new

 

I'm going to blast it, re-paint & throw it back on after the diff swap.

I've got another vendor working on a trac bar setup - I hope to keep the skid with it but I'm not sure how it's going to work.
