Hardcore newb question. Will a waggy 44 cover fit a jk 44 diff?

No I'm not retarded. Not legally anyway

 

[Beat95YJ]

It should.

i was thinking so too, they definitely resemble each other. i took the covers off my buddy's waggies when he tossed em. another buddy just bought a jk rubi and i was gonna make him home made guards out of them, just checking to make sure they'll fit considering the 30 yrs difference.

It should.

Many differences between the JK 44 and the old 44,dont just assume it is the same.

TJ and JK D44 diff covers are the same. I've not worked with the older D44's

check part numbers on a manufacturers site. if they match it will fit.

if they dont match, its possible/doubtful.

i bent my stock tj d44 cover and found one off a ford at pick n pull to replace it once upon a time so i am assuming its the same. i would find the thicker 3/16 cover (not sure what you have)

I checked Crane, Ruff Stuff, Riddler and Solid. Their D44 covers indicate D44 and do not specify there is a different cover for JK44s or anything else.

The only D44 I know of that uses a different cover is the aluminum pumpkin D44 that was used in some Grand Cherokees.

Yup and Blue Torch sell one. They are the only one that I know who does offhand.

Just picked up a set of JK Dana 44s.
From all I've read only differences are internal.
Just got back to work so it'll be 6 weeks before I could hands on verify though.
Sorry.

Some waggy D44s had funky diff covers but they also had a disconnect built into them.

I bought a "solid" diff cover off my buddy that was on one of his D44's in a TJ rubicon and put it on a scout d44 that I swapped in my YJ. It bolted up just fine but like everyone said stuff could be different..
