Hey guys,
been looking for some decent diff covers for the rear pumpkin for my Wrangler JK as the stock Diff looks really weak compared to my old Pajero one's. Found one on ebay from Malaysia and thought I pass on the link for those who are looking to replace the diff covers on their Dana 44 axles. 🙂

Just an observation mate, but why bother changing the cover on the rear diff? Unless you're planning on reversing up a track, it's very unlikely your rear cover will ever cop a serious hit... Front diffs on the other hand...
I also noticed that is a direct copy of the ARB cover...

Hi Dan,
my rear diff looks more bashed (nothing major but you can see it has a few nicks and dents in it) than the front. Often enough you can see what's going on in your front but don't be able to see what will happen underneath your rear. So I thought it's logical for me to start with the rear first. Plus. you can always get home with a faulty front drive but (deactivating the 4x4) but having the rear healthy is crucial. My thinking at least. 😉

The stock diff covers are easily dented when driving or reversing into rocks or other solid obstacles. They are also known to get peeled open when the lip of the cover gets hooked up.
