What Diff Guards Don't Cover

[bryno]

Maybe a dumb question, but couldn't find a good answer. So no question is really dumb. Right?

Anyway, why do the diff guards only guard the center caps on the outsides front & rear? I guess the steel is thinner there? Is there no real threat on the inner or under sides? Would under guards restrict more clearance than it is worth? Have I just not found the best guards? Using Safarigard and Rovertym as an example.

Look at QT Services if you want ones that wrap around. I have one on my rear diff and it's been great and I don't have to worry about it falling off without my knowing.
