Default Need a Differential Skid/cover.

One day and the stock front differential cover has probably lost 25% of its life span. This thing takes some Whacks. More Plastic where something harder should be. Anyone have a source to reinforce this on these new axles?

I am sure aluminum will be available. The stock cover holds up fine just gets beat up. Over time it will probably need replaced but that's to be expected with something like that. It's getting beat on freaking rocks!

I found that the stock rear diff cover would get pulled away from the axle when being dragged across the rocks and I'd regularly find dirt and other crap in there. It could definitely be a bit thicker.

Reminds me of the stock 8.8 cover....
