    Looking for a rear diff guard. I prefer the weld on style. Most of the ones I seem to find on TG say they dont fit the e-locker.

    Any advice?

    I had weld on ones on my old 94 pickup and would like to do the same.

    I just finished welding mine on today. They'll fit with some modification. I had to cut, bend, press, and reshape a bit, but it fits pretty decent. Any larger gaps I tried to fill with weld while concentrating the heat on the guard since it's thicker.
