Yukon YHCC-D35JL Hardcore Nodular Iron Diff Cover for 2018-2022 JL Dana 35 Rear

Vehicle Fitment

• 2018-2022 Jeep Wrangler JL - Dana 35 rear differential

Fitment Notes

• Fits both standard and reverse rotation Dana 35 JL rear differentials
• Confirm your Wrangler JL has the Dana 35 rear axle specifically - some JL trims and configurations use the Dana 44 rear (M210) instead, which requires a different cover (YHCC-D44JL-Rear)
• This is a protective/performance cover, not a rebuild kit - it replaces the factory stamped-steel cover but does not include internal differential components

Features

• Thick-walled, high-strength nodular iron construction for superior impact protection over the factory stamped-steel cover
• Increases structural rigidity of the differential housing, reducing deflection under high-torque loads
• Magnetic fill/level plug collects metallic particulates circulating in the oil to help protect gears from premature wear
• Contoured inner surfaces promote faster oil circulation and cooling
• Durable black powder-coated finish
• High-strength steel fasteners included for easy bolt-on installation
• Manufactured by Yukon Gear & Axle
• Backed by a lifetime warranty

Product Description

The Yukon YHCC-D35JL is a Hardcore differential cover for the Dana 35 rear axle found in 2018-2022 Jeep Wrangler JL models. The factory stamped-steel cover offers minimal protection against trail hazards - rocks and obstacles can crack or puncture it, leaving you stranded with a ruined differential mid-trail. This cover replaces it with thick-walled, high-strength nodular iron built specifically to shrug off the kind of impacts that end a wheeling trip early.

Beyond impact resistance, the cover's added rigidity helps reduce housing deflection under high-torque situations, which protects internal components like gears and lockers from stress that can lead to premature failure. Contoured inner surfaces improve oil circulation for better cooling, while a magnetic fill/level plug captures metallic wear particles before they can circulate and cause additional damage.

Finished in durable black powder coat and installed with included high-strength steel fasteners, this is a straightforward bolt-on upgrade - no differential disassembly required. It's a popular addition for anyone taking their Wrangler JL off-road regularly, whether for weekend trail use or more serious rock crawling.
