Default Purple Cranium Diff Covers

Was doing some surfing around on the internet and thought these look like a good diff Cover..

There are all sorts of color choices and designs available.





This is the "Spider cover" for a Dana 44 rear

This is the Rock Cruiser cover also for the Dana 44 rear.

The first one looks like it sticks off the cover a good bit, and I can see where that could be an issue with tracbar clearance. I like the design, just dont know how well it will work with the tracbar being so close.

the rear would work if your jk is lifted. The rear track bar sits above the diff after a lift kit. But as for the front I'm not sure it would work

True, and false, picture your rear passenger tire tucked up while sitting on a huge rock while the rear drivers side is fully extended. It most likely will hit that diff cover.

Brian,

Yes, the full Spider for the Dana 44 axle does fit your axle. But the
problem is the gas tank skid plate, it will probably interfere. This
will not happen in everyday driving, but if you do any off roading, and
your rear axle is twisted up a little or you compress the sustention
hard (drop it), you have a good chance of contact between the guard and
the skid plate. The Half Spider for either Frt or RR is a better choice
for your application.
