full traction makes a skid for the tranny cross member that extends in front of the exhaust cross over as well and offers it good protection. while it is made for their long arm kit, i'm pretty sure it can be purchased separately as well.

The rockhard oil/trans skid also extends to the crossmember and it covers the cats too.

I just ordered the RH skids for the oil pan and t-case after smashing the x-over and denting the crossmember

I hope this puts an end to any further damage, at least in thoses areas

Really looks like you scrapped up the drive shaft as well, same rock cause all of the damage?

Dont say that too loud,. I was using this for a reason to get a long arm kit

So they are only available on the long arm?

it might be? i was planning on having a shop weld in a new piece, the muffler isnt in good shape either.

most of it is just gouges in the shaft, its a JE reel 1350. I dont really need to worry if it's off balance. I have lockout hubs.

no, they were developed for the long arm kit but i'm pretty sure they are an independant piece of armor that you can get separately.

hmmm, only problem with that is that it's too long and will prevent your drive shaft from drooping as far as it would be able to otherwise.
