I used something very similar to this from Harbor Freight. I also purchased the 3/4" to 1/2" adapters needed for your current breaker bars. It really worked great since you could set your wanted torque and it would beep when you reached it. I used it to install some DV8 lower shock mount skid...

Thanks for the update. I had kinda forgotten that I ordered a custom set of these back in August. I happened to run across my order email, so I just emailed them to ask for an update. I'm order #8366 so it sounds like it shouldn't be too much longer.

There is enough room to access the drain without cutting into the plate. Here are all the areas that needed modification. The upper side holes should have been made a little bigger but once I got it up there, I wasn't going to bring it back down. All the ribs of the diff cover needed clearance...

Yep, I did get one per your recommendation although I didn't cut down the tube. It was just tough to get the bag high enough especially on the front diff. The rear is not nearly as tough especially if you have the axle assembly at full droop. The transfer case was somewhere in the middle.:LOL:

This looks like a great solution but does anyone have any feedback on it? The current stock plate is not supported at all so this would definitely help in some situations. But wouldn't the brace just bend if you actually hit a rock while off-roading?

That is great to know. I have the transmission skid ordered but wasn't sure about the transfer case skid.

This last weekend I changed the front diff, rear diff and transfer case fluids. I tried several different ways to put new fluid in and I've come to the conclusion its a mess no matter what. :p One thing I wish I would have realized prior to removing the rear diff cover is that the top of the...

It looks like I will have the same issue with the DV8 rear diff skid. I just ordered the FP Rear cover and I haven't gotten the DV8 skid out yet but by their picture, there is going to be a lot of grinding involved to get it to work. :confused:

Thank you. I'll order as you suggested.

I was planning on changing out the rear diff gear oil and putting in Amsoil 75W-90. Would you use the same in the front?

Drummond Island and the top of Marblehead.

I've been running the Platinum 5w-30 for the last 15k miles with no issues. I usually pick it up at Walmart which doesn't care the Ultra Platinum in my area.

@Coopertribe I'm just down the road from you in Winona Lake. As far as the dunes, one of the best events that I've gone to there is the Bronco Takeover in August. https://www.broncotakeover.net/ The best advise I can give you is dropping your air pressure to around 10psi. It make a lot of...

Was this a plug and play or did you need to spice into the taillight wires?

I think yours looks great. My Bronco is Hot Pepper Red so figured the orange would clash with the HPR.
