What more specifically are you calling a 'skid plate'?

What does it do?

Describe what you're after, and maybe someone can help a little more...

Im looking for rock guards for the diff. Like duff has for the dana 44. I have been tearing up the bottom of the diffs on rocks.

JBG has them (just looked) but it looks like it protects the front of the diff more than it does than the bottom, hard to tell from the pic

If you'll smooth out the lip a bit with your grinder, it won't gouge so badly on the rocks.

That skidplate that Duffs offers, is a nice idea, but it's just something else to hang up on on the trail (IMHO)

A quality diff cover, and some smoothing, and you're golden for many, many happy trails...

Correct. The attaching bolts on the bottom, not so much. Change them out every now and again before they are ground completely off.
