Skids for Dynatrac ProFloat XD60?

[jeepinbird]

I've been searching the interwebs for any skids made for the Dynatrac ProFloat XD60 rear axle and I can't find anything.

Does anyone know where I might find such a thing?

Skids for what exactly?

If it's for underneath the bottom of the pumpkin, that is the dumbest and most unnecessary skid ever invented!

Differentials with a drain plug in the bottom benefit from a skid. Dragging the thin wall diff over rocks can damage the plug and make it impossible to remove.

I know JL axles are a bit retarded, but we' re discussing the Dynatrac ProFloat XD60 rear axle specifically :P

Hell, it’s the mountains should be looking for the skid… not that diff.

Hahaha, you're probably right. This will be my first foray into an aftermarket axle housing so I'm used to them being easily beat to hell.

Case in point, this is my current situation with my factory front and rear respectively:

You'll be hard pressed to find a mass marketed skid for that application.
In saying that, if you're paying that kind of money for an axle and need a skid, a fabricator could literally make a custom one super easy. Personally, I would just stick with the cover it comes with. Duratracs makes some beefy shit.
Diff skids weren't really a thing until modern jeeps regardless.
