I like you gaurd, what are your thoughts about hole sawing a couple 1" diameter holes for draining and easily mud rinsing. Has cleaning this out been a problem with pooling and diff rusting?

[Mr. Orange]

uh, no.

I have a friend with a plasma cutter and a welder, and he works for cheap!

Hey Steve, let me know what you came up with...that rockit slider and a home made addition could easily be a nice solution. Although, IMS isn't cheap

But I would like to see what comes out this, as I have been trying to figure out a way to fab an inexpensive version as well....(Need to practice the welding skills or lack of anyway.... )

Clay,

The home made rear slider has two drain holes in the back corners and they work fine (behind the lose bolts in the last picture).

Just bought some 3/8" steel. Hopefully start cutting and welding this baby together tomorrow!

i converted my yokes to U-bolt style and I just run them. The U-bolts are cheap, stronger than strap types and rarely get so beat up I have to change them. The best way to prevent yoke damage in the front is to put a HP axle in!

FINALLY got this thing done enough for Calico.






I'm getting myself a welder, cuz it sucks to wait on others! This thing weighs 33 pounds. Its made out of 3/8" steel and protects the yoke. I have a little trimming and am going to add a piece between bottom lip and sides (already cut, just need to weld them in place.)

Only one thing to say (GLAD I,M NOT A ROCK!!!) Looks good Steveo..
