Looking at getting a new upgraded diff cover for my rear dana 44 before the jeep safari. Anyone have any suggestions or what they like/prefer. There are many different brands out there. Also been looking at some that have a small skid plate/slider built onto diff cover anyone use or know anything about these?

I've been eyeballing the Dynatrac Pro Series Diff covers. They are more ridged than the stock covers and have lower ribs cast into the cover for protection, plus they look sweet!

I have a set of Solid covers but haven't installed them. I was going to swap them out and ended up grinding the lower lip of the stock cover that extends below the diff so it won't catch.

The stock seem to be plenty strong - I have a 2010, not sure if newer models have the same issue with the cover hanging below the diff

Can you take care of the overhang with the cover still on or issues with heat?

Aftermarket covers look cool and I would get one just for that but, as mentioned, the factory cover will work just fine. Just grind the bottom lip so that it won't catch on rocks and it'll work just as we'll.

I like the look of the Nitro cover, but like Eddie said the factory one is fine. Mines taken a licking and keeps on ticking

Thanks for all the info everyone. Think I will probably go with the ARB diff cover. Also leaning towards doing the front as well. Time is ticking down for the jeep safari, just over a week now and still a few upgrades I am trying to squeeze in last minute!!!

I like the idea of the additional skid on the differential covers, will those fit on any differential cover

Anyone have pictures of the stock diff lower lip ground off?
I plan on going that route but wanted to make sure I do it right.

It's a bad ass journey
