Ordered the 4XG diff guard this evening... peeled back my cover a bit offroading today and realized how dumb id feel if I was stranded 3 hours away from home because of that. I'll probably paint it before I put it on... blue

You will like it. It looks good, it's practical, and if anything I bought mine for peace of mind, lol.

And our test proves it works good haha

Just checked the jeep... rear diff is leaking; damnit

[Matt]

Will hammer it back in place today and top it off. I'll pull the cover and put a new seal on it next weekend. Just ordered more fluid & LS additive.

Damn that Sucks man. I havent had a chance to check mine yet. I didn't get home until about 10:00 after getting the kids.

[Matt]

I ended up getting home around 10-10:30 too, but we stopped for dinner.

Oh and I ordered the cover from Marlin and we've exchanged a few emails today. Sent him a link to my photobucket site so he could check out some the pictures of you wheeling that thing. Your rig looks HUGE in those pictures!

I'm confused are you getting a cover or are you getting a guard? You'll def have to hammer that lip down to fit the guard on. Because as I see it now, it will not fit with that lip bent like that. But, obviously if ya get the cover, you are good. Does the Guard also fit over the cover???

[Matt]

I'm getting the guard. Going to fix the cover today (i have to hammer down that lip regardless to get it to seal again).

Edit: but hammering it down is just a temp fix since theres a leak path which means the RTV seal is compromised. so this weekend i'll pull the cover off and redo the seal, and install the guard as well.
