How much do those set you back?

Im not sure if I like that look, I would rather get a regular heavy duty cover. I like simplicity more then I do fancy. JMHO

The full cover is listed at $119. They also offer a 1/2 cover more traditional of the diff guards at $89.

This one may be more your style..but a bit more expensive at $145

Been running one for over a year. One of the best ones out there for the price, IMHO. If you are running a thicker D44 cover (the heavy duty ones that are around 1/8" thick), you'll need to grind the inside edge of the diff guard in order for it to fit on tightly. I would highly recommend this guard, you don't want this happening:

Capt Nemo, was that the thin or thick 44 cover in the carnage pic?

this: http://highclearance.com/diffcover/index.htm looks (to me) like the best option... not much more @ http://www.4x4rockshop.com/scripts/prodList.asp?idCategory=228 for the d30, d35 and d44 varieties, and bomber, lifetime warr, and NOTHING to hang, catch or stick on (not an angle on that thing greater than like 40 degrees).

just my 0.02
