After a recent desert trip where I got stuck on the differential / driveshaft, I immediately began looking for good diff skid with front coverage extending over the shaft. I don’t worry at all about the diff itself, strictly the shaft.
I got in touch with the guys at Corgrit and they hooked up a nice price and free shipping on these, as well as the DV8 rear shock and rear link plates. I’ll post a thread on those when they arrive and I install them.
Anyway: I ordered Thursday night. Package was shipped Friday, arrived Sunday. Pretty great!
The box was huge and full of spray foam glue. It must be shot in there as a liquid, expand and dry into a hard foam that keeps it all snug during transport. It looks ugly, but when you pickup the 22lb plate, it’s pretty clear packing peanuts wouldn’t do anything.
The product itself: Heavy 3/16” steel. Extremely robust. Excellent looking welds and powder coating. I was dragging it across the pavement yesterday while installing and it didn’t even make a scratch.
Install: C4 could use a bit of help here. It’s a straightforward enough install in the sense that everything can only fit in there one way, but some tips or hints would have been nice. I installed this myself in my driveway with the rear end pulled back over a curb. This provided some more room, but even with a 2” rear lift, 35”s, and a trail dump exhaust, space is still kind of tight under there. Removing the exhaust, even if it’s a trail dump, would help a bit in freeing up some room.
It took me about 3 hours to fully install. Threading the first and last bolts are by far the hardest. It’s an awkward piece of steel, and the weight is dispersed in a way that makes it quite tough to get in by yourself. Threading the last bolt on one of the rear connections, over the axle, while clamping the bracket with enough tension, then attaching a washer and nut on the underside… Quite the operation with only two hands.
Anyway, here are the pics. Super clean piece of kit.
