Description
The Dana 44 Diff Guard for 1971-79 Broncos is engineered for maximum durability and functionality. Its full wrap design features a 1/4″ laser cut ring combined with a 1/2″ formed flat bar and a 5/8″ solid bar, ensuring robust protection for your differential. This guard is specifically designed to accommodate the Early Bronco (EB) track bar and tie rod, providing a seamless fit without any interference.

Well built shipping was pretty fast as well

Very heavy duty. Bolted right up without a problem. Should take all the abuse I can throw at it without a problem.

Very well built, and bolt holes match perfectly. Primer & Paint application goes on very smoothly. Can’t wait to take it on the trails.
