Artec Hardcore Diff Cover for Jeep Wrangler JL M210-D44 Front

The Artec Hardcore Diff Cover for the Jeep Wrangler JL M210 front axle bolts thick nodular-iron armor over the factory Dana 44 (M210) front differential. On a JL or Gladiator running 35s and up, the front pumpkin takes constant abuse on ledges and off-camber rock; this cover trades the vulnerable factory stamped cover for a cast-iron one that protects the ring, pinion, and front locker. Engineered from 3D scan data for a precise, no-guesswork fit.

Key Features

• Cast from high-strength nodular iron built for extreme off-road conditions
• Thick-walled design shields the M210 ring gear and carrier from rock strikes
• Magnetic fill plug captures metal debris for cleaner gear oil
• Durable powder-coat finish over the casting
• Modeled from 3D scan files of the factory axle for precise fitment
• High-strength steel fasteners included; made in the USA

Frequently Asked Questions

Which axle does this fit?
It fits the front Dana 44 / M210 (210mm) axle used in the Jeep Wrangler JL and Gladiator JT.

Does it fit the rear axle too?
No. This is the front M210 cover. For the rear, use the Artec Hardcore Diff Cover for the JL M220 / D44 Rear.

Do I need to weld anything?
No. It is a bolt-on cover installed with the supplied fasteners using 5/16" and 3/8" Allen keys.

Will it clear my front locker or ARB?
Its thick-walled casting is shaped from 3D scans of the factory housing; confirm clearance if you run an aftermarket selectable locker, but it is designed around the stock M210 carrier.
