what diff cover sees more damage
front or rear it would seem like the front would in rocks but curious of what you find to be more prone to damage ?

I have had the same experience as orange dude. Two oil changes ago we found where the rear diff cover was push out slightly front rock contact. It had a very slight leak. Nothing a hammer didn't fix.

???
Why did you choose to install a guard up front rather than a full cover ( seeing they are as much as some full covers ) ?
i was thinkin buying one at a time to protect them, im not sure if i should get the front or rear first lol prob should do both @ same time i guess to be on the safe side when doing so . I wasnt sure which one takes more hits over all.

Do you risk loosing the seal when installing the guard having to remove several bolts up front? or not ?

If you are playing in rocks I would go with the rear first. The lower lip can peel back leaving you with catastrophic failure if you are not prepared. I have seen this happen a few times. For what it is worth I have both on order.
