I was installing my new ARB bumper and came up with this for the front diff. What do you think?

Its better than nothing I guess. Hope you left some kind of drain at the bottom for the water or spilt gear oil to run out.
That would be the fill plug... drain is on the bottom to the right in that pic. But I know where you were coming from, there could be overflow...
I have yet to fill a diff without spilling some. You wouldn't want water trapped there either.
I don't worry too much about the front of the diff, I'm not Baja-ing over rocks. If it works for you, it works for me. What is it, anyway? If you could get a half-globe, might be nice to wrap it all the way under, and make it bolt on for diff plug access.

Nicely done, a hunk of oxygen tank should be plenty strong! I have a couple of 8" steel pipe caps that I need to get cutup and a half welded onto mine. The stock diff cover is thin and dents easily.

I have an extra cap half.
We need to talk! No hurry, I'll catch up with you at the next CSC run. There is going to be another one, right?

I have the ability to get my hands on about twenty or so tanks. Each tank makes two guards. I can see about cutting and shipping if anyones interested.
or this?
a few folks have already done this from Pygpen (https://forum.ih8mud.com/showthread.php?t=72790)
no question in my mind, you need it if you go over vs around rocks...
