Aftermarked Diff cover, which one and front or rear first?

[Mudderoy]

What is your opinion on a diff cover for protection? Which one would you get first, front or rear. I'm thinking front, but maybe I'm missing something...

I like this one...

I did Front and Rear and the same time, but that is because I backed into a rock with the rear diff. I just got a stock diff cover and put on some of those rings. they seemed to work great for the rocks.
I would do the front first it is very rare that you will hit something with the rear... unless you drive like me.. lol

[bluedragon436]

I was going to say I would hit the front first, since that is the one that you would naturally hit first and most often on anything... and then do the rear cover... I myself am probably going to hit the front one up when I do a lunchbox locker... and will do the rear when I can either have someone weld it up, or I can get a locker for it.. but that might all change as my rear diff looks like it maybe leaking just a little bit... so that might move that change up a bit sooner... Ilike the Ruffstuff... and although I don't like the price as much as I like the Solid covers... I do like the design and the tuff-ness of them... so will be looking to pick up the ruff-stuff covers for both of mine...

i would do front for over here ..... thing is over here my diff is on other side to other 4x4 here ... so i hit a lot of things on my jeep when in big muddie rutted tracks ...does that make sense ,i hope so lol...

I've got the Ruff Stuff front and rear... They are beefy as hell. I did both at the same time but if I was doing one it would be the front first. They have a discount for jeepforum and Naxja members also.

That is for a Dana 30, but they had a C8.25 cover on that page as well.
