I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks the E locker guards out there all suck balls. So I built one...
The ones made by companies like inchworm and marlin are nice, but I was worried about the forces being put on the locker bolts. The locker bolts are used to secure the guard with these two models.

I built mine so it sits flush around the diff and bolts to the axle on the back. That way when I hit it on a rock, the forces are spread out over the diff and axle housing, instead of the locker bolts.
