Kilby skid plates + diff drop?

[BigSwede]

That might be worth looking into...I remember Jerry Lemond telling me that the crossmember there doesn't do much of anything, and he wasn't even sure it is needed!

But I do hit rocks pretty hard on occasion, so I think something backing that plate joint would be a good idea.

UH-OH! I'm thinking again ...

If you do eliminate the crossmember & just use the Kilby plate, you can gusset the seam between the 2 plates with a tapered plate mounted on the down side of the plates. Sorta like a threshold plate for the front door, but much thicker material.

The first step though is to find out if the Kilby interferes with the differential.
