for sure wanting diff guards with access to plugs. (don't care if I have to weld'em on or bolt'em) I tried to make my own, it looked like a beat up football helmet. so I left them naked.
also wanted to do a front skid/steering guard. not at all needed, because I have HD steering components. But I like the look. been playing around with some mock ups, but not sure yet on the mounting brackets or the angle.

did some looking can make one very similar to the terrafirma diff guard. lets say between 80-150 bucks plus powder coating. regular primer and paint is no extra charge it will be included in the price.

I applaud you for this. I have a local buddy that is a fabricator on the side. He builds race buggy chassis, drag car chassis, helicopter logging stuff, helicopter repair platforms, bumpers, and is even getting into decorative metal work. He built my first bumper, panhard bar, and is going to be cranking and plating my radius arms. And best of all he is local and I don't have to have anything shipped!
