Features & Product Details

Rock Hard 4x4 is very proud to offer the Heaviest Duty 1/4" Thick Steel Differential Cover for the Dana 44 Housing.

FITMENT NOTE: Not compatible with JL and JT housings as they are not traditional Dana 30 and Dana 44 center sections like we know them.

Rock Hard 4x4's Differential HardHat's™ are designed to offer maximum protection where your rig needs it most. The factory differential cover offers minimal protection and provides zero deflection. In minutes, you can install a 1/4" thick plate steel cover with built-in impact deflecting angles. They've laser cut-out an oil change cutout to make servicing a breeze.

RH4X4 FEATURES:

1/4" Thick Steel

100% Bolt on Install

Black Powder Coat Finish

100% Made in USA

Million Dollar Question:

Why not a full differential cover replacement? Same reason RH4x4 does not attach their best-selling JK Oil Pan Skid Plate directly to the oil pan. They are moving hard impacts away from your internals as far as they can, while maintaining clearance for your suspension/track bars. This gives you the best of both worlds: Ultimate 1/4" thick steel drive train protection with maximum off-road clearance.

What comes in every kit:

Zinc-coated Hardware

Rock Hard 4x4 HardHat Dana 44 Front/Rear Differential Cover - Black ( Part Number: RH-9053)

Looks Sturdy but be aware of fitment for your diff configuration to fit Dana 30 or Dana 44. 8 years ago

The Rock Hard covers beefy construction using 1/4 steel and stealth fighter like angles suggest to me this unit will do the job to deflect hazards more to help reduce the blunt force trauma of the stock round diff cover. The black power coat is thick and applied professionally and a nice aesthetic touch is the silver backing on the RH cut out logo that will impress your friends when you make them lean under to view your new skid plate protection:). Installation is the simplest with the removal of 5 stock bottom bolts replaced with the over cover and 5 provided socket bolts. Be gentle with the bolts or you can break the diff cover seal and make a lot more work of it to replace the seal. The torque to reinstall the bolts is 20 ft-lbs per Rock Hard 4x4. However there is an ordering/fitment caution you should be aware of. The Northridge nor the Rock Hard 4x4 site are precise on the fitment (Rock Hard much less so). Northridge specifies the 9053 fitment for the JKU Sahara but dont specify front or back. I expect they presuppose folks ordering are aware that the Sahara has a Dana 44 in the rear and a Danna 30 in the front. So when installing this for the front you will quickly discover it wont fit. Sahara fitment is Rock Hard P/N 9030 for front and 9053 for the rear. Rubicon is Dana 44 front and rear. The pictures attached show the attempt to installed the 9053 cover on the front of a 2017 Sahara. The cover is much wider then the diff.
