Thanks chappy,,,this is just a generic mock up. I wanted to see how well the 1.5mm stainless was to work with...I wanna get the skid so it conforms better to the shape of the axle housing....more streamlined/less snag points. I was also thinking about a full width axle skid...wheel to wheel.

Introducing the new RMDW Paradox Axle Truss (R.A.T.) for the rear axle....
These mount to the screw at the knuckle or rear lockout,,requires a screw that is 3mm longer then the stock pan head screw...the truss also mounts to the two top differential screws using 1/4" spacers between the axle housing and the truss...Multiple mounting holes for tab blocks that will allow the upper and lower links as well as the shocks to be mounted in various positions on the rear axle while eliminating the weak molded tabs...the truss also significantly increases the overall strength of the entire axle housing....
Here you can see the 1/4" spacers.

You guys may also notice that the axle housing in these pics above is the alxe housing that had the broken tab from a while back...I saved it knowing the trusses were coming soon...Ive just gained another spare axle housing thanks to the trusses....

atleast from the angel in the pics it looks like the rodend ball and rodends themselves are going to be at some extreme angels.

Introducing the new RMDW Paradox Axle Trusses (F.A.T.) for the front axle or steerable rear axle...
Here is the first two pics of the trusses...one short and one long...again these bolt to the axle at the screw for the C-hub and the F.A.T.'s use the top and bottom holes at the differential as well as incorporate the use of sublinks to tie the BTL plate to the truss and the axle housing....these are freakin STOUT!
Youll also notice they dont hang under the axle housing so they dont hang up when crawling....
