A little extra beef to keep the housing from getting smashed into the ring gear, as unlikely as it is

 

Awe fuuuuuuck.

My dream gun is a select-fire MP5, this is damn near close for non select fire

 

You won't crack a weld either. These are my square main tube 4x sliders. Even with a 1/4"+ gap, they flexed up into the pinch weld slightly when I did this.

 

I'd just be worried about damage to the diff housing?

 

Pretty much

 

That thread got deleted with the quickness

 

Skids on the bottom aren't really necessary, it's pretty thick. The weakest part on the bottom is the drain plug, which you could weld to the housing

 

Or get one of these.

 

Yeah, diffs are really the first I'd want to protect.

And not that I'd be idiot enough to go over something incorrectly where a skid would've saved me....I'd rather just protect whatever may look vulnerable underneath?

Of course, this idea came about while sitting here drinking and not looking underneath the LC to see if it made sense or not

 

Men's protective wear is getting kind of medieval looking

 

If you look under your Land Cruiser you'll find your transmission already has its own skid plate and so does your transfer case. You could put a different belly skid if you really wanted to but I doubt you'll touch it very much because your suspension isn't tethered to the middle of the vehicle like it would be on an independent setup

 

See, I was coming up with ideas before even looking underneath
