Default Off Road Drive Train Protection

I have a 96 Ranger reg cab, stepside, 4x4, 4.0L, 5spd. I'm looking for suggestions on where to purchase diff guards, tank & transfer case shields. I've found one site online that sells the front diff shield for the Dana 35 but I've had no luck in finding any of the other shield/guard protectors. Do you know of a company that sells these things? I'm not going to go off road on 3.5 rated trails (rated as "expect body damage") but nonetheless, here in the desert the potential for dragging bottom or having a rock fly up and hit something does exist.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Rustys off road for the rear axle

junk yard for the gas tank and t case

the front diff is pretty beefy as is so I wouldn't worry about it
