Front Differential Cover?

dieselenthusiast · **Posted:** Tue Jan 27, 2009 12:03 am

Was I dreaming, or did I hear someone say that somebody makes a front diff cover for the KJ.

I know, I know, I know, the front diff is already protected by the engine skid. But, I have other ideas………… :twisted:

No room since one of the front diff mount does not leave room for a thicker cover.Plus the D30A diff cover also has the breather tube in it sinc ethe case does not have a breather tube in it.

Sure, I'd like to see some pics. Obviously I need to be educated.

Dang, I need to get under my Jeep more often. :shock:

What Troy was saying makes perfect sense. Thanks for the Pic……………. Now I feel educated. Heck, I’m probably as educated as most Jeep mechanics at the dealership, and that‘s not a good thing. :twisted:

Yep as I am sure most have never seen a KJ/KK front diff out in the open or had to change one out!
