I have no plans to make a rear differential cover as 4xGuard and S4xC already make one, I don't think the market is big enough for more.Quote:

As far as the front bumper design goes, is it going to be more flat steel design or tubular baja design?
That's what I'm talking about!Quote:

Mallory Sweet swt offroading has a replacement cover available.
Check ebay Item number: 270877370529
I posted here as SA stated they were not making a replacement cover.Quote:

That is what I was afraid of. To my knowledge no one makes anything for us 12 bolt guys :(Quote:

Thanks for catching that, I did that when I was dreaming big and building my site. I will fix it until the other projects get completed.Quote:

If you had one on your list i would have just ordered it :(Quote:

I too have the 4xGuard overlay, is that what people are wanting (because I didn't make one since they already do) or are you wanting a replacement dif. cover?Quote:

I already have that. I was the first guy not associated with the company to bolt it on and test it. It works great as a guard but I want a full replacement cover!Quote:

I LOVE the ARB covers! I love that the fill plug has an integrated dip stick and the drain plug has a magnet. Awesome ideas! I have just given up all hope that they will make a 12 bolt cover.

I was actually talking to him last week about it. He has the cover specs that he needs, time will tell if he comes out with it or not.Quote:

Don't bother with the GetLost one - it won't fit. I have two of them keeping a box from floating away in my garage. He sent me a replacement after the first one didn't fit and guess what...Quote:

If that is addressed to me then the answer would be "no".Quote:
