Dana 44 Diff reinforcement cover

Anybody had any experience with diff guards or reinforced covers. I've seen
several, but not sure which I like. I just did cross over steering and have
the cover exposed now. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in
advance.

Re: Dana 44 Diff reinforcement cover

One of the hottest covers on the rock crawling circuit is the T and J
double-walled cover with recessed bolt holes. I have one on my Dana 44 and
it's bulletproof. See it at

Re: Dana 44 Diff reinforcement cover

Didn't your Roc 60's come with cast covers?
