I searched for some time but with no luck. Here is what I finally found, hope this helps some people:
QT Services Front and Beefy rear = (156.55)=$224
MJ Lee Front and Rear = (105.00) = $150
All prices INCLUDE VAT and shipping.

I thought you didn't have to pay VAT in the US. |

You don't. And I thought that the QT diff guards were ~47UKP each. That means that you're paying about 62UKP for shipping!!! Holy crap, are they sending them first class air mail??

Niall,
It is quite common to ship air mail. I get my parts orders from England faster than from Rovers North. Monday orders are at my door wednesday, and Tursday orders are here Monday.
Take VAT off those prices and they begin to look downright cheap.

Hey Perrone, since I only make ~$75 CDN a week at my part time job (I'm still in school), they still look expensive to me ;-) Do I ever need to get a bar/pub job so I can afford some Rover upgrades. |

Oh, this reminds me of a question I thought of the other day. The front and rear QT diff guards are different, right? Well, why wouldn't you want two rear guards so that your front DS yoke would be protected too? |

Those prices I was qouted were to get them from England to my front door in CO. When I said "All prices INCLUDE VAT and shipping", I meant to say "total cost". Unfortunately, I don't think we can subtract VAT. It was not included in the qouted price since it was going to be shipped to USA. The price stands...I think. |

Price for front and rear MJ Lee diff guards: £70. Shipping to my front door in Cincinnati, Ohio: £55.

Yes, the shipping exorbitant to say the least. I'm pretty sure you can use UPS to ship the two diff guards for cheaper than $100 I spent!
The reason you can't use the rear diff guard on the front is that the front unit has an attachment for the steering damper. Secondly, the panhard rod will get in the way of the diff guard itself.
In my RRC, I had to cut some material away to mount the front diff guard. The round axle damper thing got in the way of the guard a bit. Don't forget, you'll need to weld two tabs on teh front diff to mount the guard.
The MJ Lee doesn't provide sliding surface. They only protect the most vulnerable soft metal cover on the diffs. The rear QT also protects a little bit of the pinion as well. The benefit of the QTs is that your diff drain plug won't be sanded flat after many encounters with rocks!
MJ Lee looks just like the ones from RN. Unless RN is importing them. I dunno! |
