Upgraded Driveline / Transmission UCP?

[autumn walker]

So I have managed to destroy my factory driveline UCP. Pulled it off, welded in some 1/4" checker plate, put it back on, bent it again.

What are you guys doing with your driveline to protect it? I'm getting tired of pulling my stock UCP off and reshaping it so it doesn't vibrate off my exhaust!

The stock UCP is flimsy. Bent mine up into the exhaust a few times. I am now running the Rubberduck UCP. It also protects the transfer case. Expensive, but very solid

I built my own out of 1/2 inch plate, works great

Here's a picture of mine before it went on the truck

Funny, I am just now designing a Knight Metal Works "H2 UCP Up-Armor System"! It will be 3/16" steel with stiffening reinforcements.

Aside from what Scarsman may come up with, the Rubberduck seems like the best deal. I've watched H2s abuse it and have it remain intact.

Extremely interested in this; however, shipping cross border will be EXPENSIVE.

The Rubber Duck kit is nice, it's designed like the H1 style UCP.

If you use plate, use something smooth, checker plate will catch and add too much surface friction vs a smooth plate or a lattice of thick strong round bars.

Mine will be smooth. I don't have all my final figures yet, but I can say they will be much more affordable than the rubber duck ones.

Wasn't there a trick of putting rebar inside the stock UCP tubing to beef it up?

I'm dumping my stock setup and making up a set similar to the H20 UCP
