Getting the third ready to go in. What are the thoughts on pinion guards? I haven't had a problem without one, but one never knows.
What are you running, if anything?

Re: 9" Pinion Guard
I got one from Great Lake Offroad. I have never run one but when I was working on the rear end, I figured I would add one...
I did scrape it up a bit last week so it is probably cheap insurance.
The GLO guard is very nice and reasonably priced.71 Bronco

Re: 9" Pinion Guard
I run the James Duff diff/pinion guard. It likely saved me from cracking my rear diff open 4 times on the 'con over the weekend. You lose a little clearance but gain a lot of protection. I like it.
I am sure some of my hits were due to my inexperience in the driver's seat...1970 Bronco

Re: 9" Pinion Guard
DIY makes a nice one. Open to keep sand and mud from caking up around your pinion. Heavy duty and no ground clearance lost.sigpic70w/ 69/351w/GT40 lightning heads 435/203/D20 5.5/3in 44/arb 9in/detroit need some beadlocksComment
