Questions & Answers

What is the compatibility between this skid plate and G2 diff covers?

My guess is that it won't happen. I installed it against a factory diff cover and it fit snugly. Maybe it will work if there is clearance at the bottom of the G2 cover.

Can you give me an estimate of how much less ground clearance this skid will provide? Are the edges of the diff tightly hugged?

Hugs just a little bit tighter than 1/2 inch. Mine has a big groove in it, but my wife and I did the Rubicon the day after we put it on, and it saved us a lot of time and made the experience more pleasant. Although granite nut makes a loud noise while dragging, it does not cause damage to it

The U joint is covered by this policy? It doesn't make sense, by the way, why it wouldnt fit on a 96 Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ?

The u- and v- shaped parts of the body are covered It was the best choice for me because it was a joint. The kit replaces the Dana 44 rear axle on my 2007 JK. I would think it would fit as long as your ZJ has a Dana 44 rear end.

Can this be used for both the front and rear dana 44 differentials on Rubicons?

There are two different skid plates, one for the front and one for

I really like how this fits
4/5

There were no issues and the installation went smoothly. I'd like to point out that this is a very good Trail testing will be a THOROUGH process for me to do. The mall crawler is not The second thing I noticed was that it fit perfectly. The cable matched up without any problem and was simple enough to install solo (with the help of a jack and a I will tell you the bad now. The holes on the outside of the frame where the new bolts are installed are not big enough for a socket or wrench to be inserted through them. If this is not corrected, it will be impossible to put it on. The hole needed to be ground out to take a socket to install the bolts, so I had to use a dremmel. In the end, two of the holes were too narrow to fit through, but I still drilled all five holes to be absolutely In my case, I painted mine red for show. I expect it will be scraped off very quickly.

The product provides good protection and is easy to This is a very heavy and easy to install product
5/5

A small drip appeared in the differential after installing, but the bolts were tightened a bit more, and the problem seems to be resolved. Please note Update- During a trip to Moab, I landed on a rock with my rear differential and went to the hospital. As my group shook me side to side to get off, I had to get up and down. No dent is visible on this skid, which has held up very well. There's no way I can even be certain the paint had come This was worth the time and effort.

A great deal of protection
5/5

The U bolt around the input pinion housing of the differential was a little concerning, but it appears to be in good shape.

The diff has been saved! Using this product saved me from wasting time remaking my diffs
5/5

Here is a photo of the trail a year and a half later. They got a lot of hard treatment from me. It was the same for the front. Their bodies are subjected to a lot of damage. Lub locker gaskets would be a good option. The gear assembly is simpler, less messy, and easier to adjust if you need to mess with gears. My recommendation would be this over different covers every time.

Easy to install, but not easy to maintain
3/5

Easy to install, but not easy to maintain. I found one of the screws to be out of place. It would be a good idea to have someone with a lift do the installation or to have two people under your Jeep. My local Jeep outfitter will install it if I don't succeed in getting it done myself.
