The pinions on my dana 44's, especially the front, seem very vulnerable to rocks and I have been thinking of ways to protect them. Rather than welding a flat piece of steel under the pinion and yoke that could bend and hit the driveshaft if the jeep came slaming down on it, I thought that somehow incorporating a pinion guard into an axle truss would be best--hit two birds with one stone, and make a smash-proof pinion guard. So, before I start to weld something up, I thought I would try to get other people's ideas and opinions here. Are there any good aftermarket trusses with pinion guards that I should look at? Have any of you made a similar truss/guard? Thanks for the help, I can't wait to see what this Jeep can do in the rocks!
