Default DIY diff skids

Because I don't have unlimited funds, it often becomes necessary to be creative with what I have.

I also don't like any of the skids I've see because they're too bulky. I wanted something light, with losing any more ground clearance than necessary.
I hope these work as I blew the last bit of fun money I had to get a set of hard Enduro Beef Tube axles, and I want something to help protect them.


The stainless steel strapping is left over from a TV antenna install years ago. I cut it with tin snips. Attached with 3M tape in a few spots.



I bent and formed the strapping to fit tight enough to hold it self in place even without the tape. It was a little tricky getting the skid in place with the tape.



I know it's off center a little, but it's good enough for test purposes.
I'll post an update when I've had a chance to see if they stay in place and don't cause any hang ups.
