Diff Guard

[Dusty74 Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Dusty74]

Was curious if anyone had fitted a guard to the rear diff? After forking out $440 today to have the rear gasket replaced due to a rock strike, I'm keen to source something to prevent this happening again. Any ideas would be great, in the mean time I'll keep searching the net.

Cheers,
Dusty

Doesn't seem to be much specifically for the Prado in Aus, however I did find this in US for the FJ. No price yet but I might shot off an email for a laugh.

Superior Engineering have just advertised one for an FJ. So maybe they could adapt one to suit the prado.
Below is the link to their facebook page add.

Not sure that design suits the rear diff, plus not keen on weld-on style. The issue I've had looks to be from dropping onto a large rock more so than forward motion strike, if you get what I mean. The style I'm looking for are more of a slider for the diff so I can drag my ass around! LOL

Cheers,

Maybe a job for Brains to make one up similar to his T-case guard arrangement. If he does I would buy one.

Found another one from a place called Budbuilt, unfortunately in the States again, but they have some neat looking bash plates.

I'll take one in fire engine red, to match the front and rear recovery lugs on the 120 series. Lol.
