The YUKYHCC-D35JL is cast from thick-walled, high-strength nodular iron, a material with significantly greater impact resistance and structural rigidity than the stamped-steel factory cover. On the trail, differential covers are among the most exposed components on your undercarriage; a cracked factory cover means a day-ending fluid loss and possible carrier damage. The YUKYHCC-D35JL eliminates that risk with a protective housing designed to absorb rock strikes and trail abuse that would crack or deform an OEM cover. In addition to impact protection, the increased wall thickness of the YUKYHCC-D35JL adds structural rigidity to the differential housing itself, reducing deflection under high-torque situations that can stress your ring, pinion, and carrier bearings. The YUKYHCC-D35JL comes with a durable powder coat finish and high-strength steel fasteners for a bolt-on installation with no drilling or welding required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x YUKYHCC-D35JL Hardcore nodular iron differential cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-strength steel cover bolts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGasket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrain plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFeatures and Benefits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThick-walled nodular iron construction for superior impact protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncreases structural rigidity of the differential housing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect bolt-on fit for 2018-2024 Jeep Wrangler JL Dana 35\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDurable powder coat finish resists corrosion and abrasion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-strength steel fasteners included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo cutting, welding, or modification required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number (MPN)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYUKYHCC-D35JL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDifferential Application\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDana 35 \/ M200 (Jeep JL)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNodular iron\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePowder coat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFasteners\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-strength steel bolts included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2018-2024 Jeep Wrangler JL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYukon Gear limited warranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUPC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e883584312373\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Upgrade to YUKYHCC-D35JL\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe factory Dana 35 cover on the Jeep JL is a stamped-steel unit designed for weight savings, not trail protection.
