Rock Hard 4x4 is very proud to offer the Heaviest Duty 1/4" Thick Steel Differential Cover for the Dana 44 Housing.
FITMENT NOTE: Not compatible with JL and JT housings as they are not traditional Dana 30 and Dana 44 center sections like we know them. We hope to have our HardHats for the JL and JT finalized soon.Our Differential HardHat's™ are designed to offer maximum protection where your rig needs it most. The factory differential cover offers minimal protection and provides zero deflection. In minutes, you can install a 1/4" thick plate steel cover with built-in impact deflecting angles. We've laser cut-out an oil change cutout to make servicing a breeze.
Million Dollar Question:Why not a full differential cover replacement? Same reason we do not attach our best-selling
JK Oil Pan Skid Plate directly to the oil pan. We are moving hard impacts away from your internals as far as we can, while maintaining clearance for your suspension/track bars. This gives you the best of both worlds: Ultimate 1/4" thick steel drive train protection with maximum off road clearance.
