So evidently the Currie or Barnes diff cover with the built in skid has been discontinued. I picked one up from @DustyCrackers a couple weeks ago and installed it and it doesn’t look like it would be too difficult to produce these.
If I did weld some of these up would it be preferred to have the lower fill plug or the higher one? I’d think higher but it was a little bit of a pain to fill it with the tie rod right in the way and with a Rubicon the airline is right behind the fill plug also which makes the depth of the plug important so the line doesn’t get damaged. If I used the lower fill plug I’d need to build a recess in the skid so access could be had to that fill plug location which isn’t a huge deal but possible.
Anyone interested in these things in case I decide to build some?
