Default What's the Best Diff Guard?

I have a tendency to hit the D2's front diff on rocks and have managed to break 2 off. I don't recall how the first one broke. But the second one got bashed up pretty hard on Hell Hole. My most recent trip I got stuck in some mud, and a stick hidden in the mud managed to get under part of it and just ripped the sucker out.



Does anyone know of any good or great quality guards that ship on the quicker side? This broke a few days ago and I'm planning on joining Northern California Land Rovers clubs Rovicon (Rubicon but rover style) event coming up in late August.

Talk to DiscoStu when you get there. He has an awesome D2 setup. Check him out on Instagram.

tactical rovers has the best looking one I've seen. Don't know about turn around time but that's always at the top of my list that never seems to get done when it comes to diff armor...

I happen to know him personally! Have been discussing mods with him and have taken inspiration from his build.

I have used Terra Firma and Rovers North diff guards. Both are bolt on types. However, I prefer Rovers North's version.... thicker plate materials, particularly around the top bolt-on section which is Terra Firm's weakest link from my experience.
