    Default Chris' FJ TCase & Diff Armor



    Here's a late post showing off Brody's work when he made front & rear differential armor for my FJ62 as well as some transfer case protection.

    Thanks Pete!

    Bolt on..Yes..Tricky to get all the bends in just the right places to clear the nuts, too. 1/4" steel, too, so now Chris can let his driving skills lapse a little....

    Thanks!

    Well Brody, its a beautiful piece of work you did there. If your interested in the work, I'd be willing to cough up the dough to get a bolt on rear dif cover for my Runner. Again, I suppose it'll have to be one of the days when your not too hellaciously busy.

    Sure. For front or rear? I made a template and Chris left his extra dif cover so I can do one at my house. I also may be able to use your bolt on armor that doesn't work too well, too, so if you can send a picture of it, please do..

    Nice thing is that you don't need a bolt on. The Cruisers need them since they have c-clips that hold the rear axles in place. You have to pull the diff cover to get to the c-clips. The 4Runners and trucks don't have diff covers since there are no c-clips. Yours would be a simple weld on unit.

    Hey Jeff

    I PM'd Young Chris with this info as soon as I saw his post..Certainly doesn't hurt to run it by him again from another source, either. After all, he is very young...and doesn't spend enough time under his rig..
