Eagle Lakes Camping/Wheeling Trip 9/18 - 9/20

Lets do it!

Diff diaper ftw

 

boztec has a rear diff that seems beefy enough

 

Yeah...diff diaper is on the list. Next up sliders from BAMF (could be done any day now!), then skids and then rear bumper with swing out, then front bumper. Or maybe rear bumper first. The spare in the bed is a hassle.

The boztec looks pretty nice...but $385?

I was just reading on ih8mud about cutting high pressure cap pipes into a diff diaper...it's like 1/2" steel.

I saw some trail gear and marlin crawler diff skids that appear to only protect the back. What about the front/bottom?

 

The back is really thin metal the rest of the diff is pretty strong. That's why they only protect the back.

 

Plus they maintain max clearance.

 

Those pipe caps make more sense on a front diff (on a solid axle rig) since they are more likely to be colliding with rocks.

 

Good times

 

and my shocks arrive this morning.... So close

 

I should probably just learn how to drive and not bash it on rocks so much.

 

It was great meeting u, ur wife, and the pooch.we had a great time! Thanks for showing us the way we gotta wheel soon!
