Barnett Diff Covers

I called T&J yesterday. They are still backordered with no ETA in sight. Any other decent solution? Those warn bolt on guards work okay as a stop gap? Not playing in the rocks anymore, but would like some "just in case" protection.
I bought some 1/4" RockHard 4x4 guards: https://www.rockhard4x4.com/Jeep_Wrangler_TJ_Skid_Plate_s/279.htm
Refer to my post #117 above. If you supply covers, T and J will convert them for you. I never confirmed it, but I think the correct covers were used on Dodge Ram pickups. Those covers have a higher fill hole and are made of thicker steel (required to control weld warpage) than the TJ covers. If you can confirm which makes and models used them, I'll bet there are thousands of them in junkyards across the USA. Find a set and send them in!
Early 2000s had the Dana 44, it's 3/16" instead of 1/8". My local upull charged me around 12/each. I guess I could make a business pulling those and sending them off to t&j

They used to have a shop in Burbank,Ca it’s now closed. Is the company still in business?
OP
They are out in Riverside now. I don't know if Mike is doing all the products but he is working on rigs.
The original!!! I had a set on my CJ. They work well. Glad to see Mike Duncan is still in business.
I have been looking into a diff guard for my Dana 30 and these look really strong.
Would these cause any clearance issues with Currectlync steering and JKS trackbar?
dana 30 is correct however dana is no longer producing it with the high fill plug. the boys at T&J put the plug in the right place when they weld the hat on the cover.

Shouldn't be an issue since it still uses the factory cover.
Mine's a 44 with a JKS trackbar.
I don't think the steering was ever a problem. YRMV
Thank you. I found someone on ebay earlier today with 4 of the 707180X listed for sale and took a gamble and ordered one - should be interesting to see what arrives. And then this afternoon pulled a cover off of an old Dodge Ram Dana 44 at a u-pick junk yard that appears to be a 707014X. Its a thick bastard and the fill is moved up. So I might be set, or I might be screwed.
you wont be screwed by the dana 30 one as long as it's the thicker cover 707180X. i ordered two from autozone with the mid plug and brought them to T&J. they confirmed that dana was manufacturing them only with the mid plug but that they could make it work.
they made it work just fine:
Anyone know how or if these can be ordered anymore? Called a few times and texted the number without a response.
The Barnetts are back in stock, I got mine in few weeks back, I meant to post on here then.

It looks like the Dan's 30 versions are still out of stock. Good to see the Dana 44 back though.
