weld-on diff guards and diff oil
Eventually I'd like to get a set of diff guards (RTE or QT?). The RTE's are weld on only and it looks like the QT's require some tabs to be welded to the pumpkin. I'll be changing the diff oil in a few weeks (before any guard purchase) and was wondering what impact the heat from welding will do to the oil. Does it need to be replaced after that much heat? Should I wait until I have diff guards to change the gear oil? I'll be using Mobil 1 75w90 LS gear oil.

I have QT diff guards on mine, front and the rear rock slider one to add protection to the flange as well.
The QT Disco 2front diff guard requires 2 weld on lugs, and I really did not like that idea tbh, I wanted a fullt "bolt on" one, so after some discussions and a few test fits by the guys at QT, a Defender TD5 front diff guard will fit a Disco 2 and requires no welding at all.
Details and piccys are on my webpage if your interested.
