Do you mean armor for your diff, or a replacement cover? If it's just a replacement cover, go find one in good condition at a junk yard. Clean it up and paint it.

When my ring bolt went through my cover we left the bolt in the cover and put RTV on the inside of the bolt and outside of the bolt and it survived the last almost 5 hours of the trail and ended up putting my friends jeep on my trailor cause his wasn't driveable and he drove mine back over 2 hours back with a bolt in the diff cover lol.
I had a friend that had a armored diff cover on his TJ and he didn't punch a hole in is cover he smashed his in and ring gear was eating the cover and the teeth up lol
