Default Diff Covers or Rock Sliders?

Debating between getting some PSC Diff Covers or OR-FAB Rock Sliders while the discount is still in effect. Close to same price at Northridge right now while the $100 discount is in effect.

Any opinions? I live in New Mexico which has a lot of rocks, but most of the trails i've been on seem like sliders would be more useful. But would suck to eat my words and hurt the diff cover.

Add another. It's much easier to miss rocks with your diffs than your rockers.

Get the sliders. You can get Solid diff covers for much cheaper than PSC, if your jeep will clear em.

many people have mixed feelings on the riddler though.. Many things, trackbar clearance issues as well as some having drain plugs that thread right thru. My drain plugs fine, but it hit on stock trackbars. They may have changed now, but if i recall most of the dif cover options were made by the same place if i recall correctly . Also the fastener choice baffles me, id swap to allen drive cap screws.

Not trying to recommend Riddlers... I was just trying to point out that when I'm wheeling - especially without a spotter - I tend to "use" my diff covers...
