Hey guys. Just wondering if anyone knows what this bracket on the rear diff is for? It appears to utilize 2 of the diff bolts. Is it for a thermo-couple to measure temperature? I'm new to the Power Wagon world and Loving it so far! Any help is appreciated!

Yep.

If I remember right the earlier models didn't have that bracket and people were having trouble with the lines hanging dangerously low. Pretty sure somebody on here posted a pic of it on theirs and they later took it to the dealer and they put that bracket on.
