Alex,

I bought the large diff protection from Trail Gear, and modified a bit to work on the front axle of my fj40. This is what I bought here:
Trail-Gear Inc > Trail Armor

I'll post a pic of what It ended up looking like in a few.

Ouch! Not sure a diff guard would have helped you there Alan!

Wrap,... or brute force? sucks to only be able to go backwards, anything else grenade?

That is an interesting angle your u-bolts are at as well Alan...

Break a rear pinion - can only go backwards, break a front pinion can only go forward - or better yet, disengage the front axles and you can go forward and backwards.

From my recollection Bret, you have experience only being able to go backwards . That was a hot day to be wrenching in the sun too!

Um, the question was pinion guard, not diff guard.

Um, the question was pinion guard, not diff guard.

That's what I thought too?
