Diff Covers

Great opportunity for CHEAP diff protection. If you've been holding out for the right price, you need to look here, right now before the price goes back up. Currently 50% off many axles. I just grabbed two for Mandi...

Great price! Some applications the cover will not clear the stock steering. (Hence, I just run a Warn lower skid on my front.) On Rubicons, some have an issue with the drain plug interfering with the locker. HTH

I've had great luck with them on my JK 44's with ARBs. I'm hoping they'll do just as well on the XJ... And @ $65 You can't beat 'em. Heck, the little cheesy guards cost more than that!

True that.

Lee is right. On TJ's, clearance is very tight. In the rear with the gas tank skid when setting pinion angle with a DC shaft. And in the front with the track bar.
I've seen pics of people shaving their Solid diff covers in order to make them work.

I am not sure if XJ's would be the same since they share a lot of front end parts.

JK's are completely alien.

Oh snap! I just caught cheesy guard! And I have not made a JK joke in days (okay, maybe hours.)

Hey! I have a cheesy half guards on my front cover! :oops:

Guess who's Jeep it came off of! :lol:

Cheesy was more because I'm starving than insulting (Since I believe Dave's used to be mine), just stating an obvious fact... If I gotta shave the solid I can do that, gonna be in there next week anyway...
