It doesn’t protrude blow the diff housing... I don’t fancy meself as much of a rock crawler. Pricing on covers and factory hardware went stupid, I used SS ARP hardware which wasn’t bad.

I like the looks of that ARB cover... I don't plan on crawling but I may end up somewhere I didn't want to be.

I have a Ruffstuff cover on my crawler. I like it, it's durable, I'll never hurt it, but I got it many years ago when they were under $100. They are $140? or so now? Crazy. Fabricated diff covers were supposed to be the cheap/durable option and they're just expensive now.

Mine was I think $25 shipped from a fellow TRS'r, don't remember who...

Now fabricated parts take more in labor cost than chinese cast parts do to make and ship...
