Rear Dana 60 Yoke Guard

Coppertop · 05-03-2012, 05:03 PM

Since installing the 1979 dana 60 rear axle in my Jeep XJ last year ,I have wanted to install a guard to protect the yoke.

Heres what I came up with after several hours of trial and error.With the existing hoop and diff cover as a good anchor point.

The material used was laying around in the garage.The side pieces are 1 3/4 dom .120 wall tube ,the front piece 1 3/8 dom 3/16 wall tube,and the top reinforcement 1 1/2 3/16 wall box tube.

The guard welded in place before paint.

Ready for Harlan.
