where i'm at right now, duh...
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.

haha, thanks fellas. I've been working on it in my free time this week, so not sure how long it took me. I changed my design a lot as I went on!

Those are Ranchos Mike! and they will be replaced soon (hopefully) with some nice Bilstiens.

The personalized tire is from when I took the tires to be balanced. That chalky stuff never wears off!
