WHAT A LEAK? Keep us updated. I just received mine but I probably won't install for a few weeks.

He is talking about he beat up his stock cover really good and has a leak, and is wanting one of these HD covers to replace it.

Yeah definately referring to the stock cover. What a doo doo design. The edges of the cover protrude out past the Iron Diff Casting itself and low and behold I slid off the back of a rock and it peeled open like a tin lid. Luckily it didnt completely rip off, but enough force to make the cover start leaking from the bottom :evil:

Don't forget folks, I will give you my cost on Amsoil Severe Gear diff lube if you have purchased a cover from Marty at Rock Lizard. My cost runs around $30 shipped w/ tax to your door for 2 Qts of the Best diff lube in 75W-140 flavor, a little less for 75W-90. Just PM me for more info.

For those that have received covers, how are they being shipped? I can't wait to get my hands on this!

Mine arrived USPS.

I painted it with cheapo bedliner stuff. Not for protection, just because I like the looks of it.

I am installing tommorow.

Jim,

Looks cool. You should've gone with gold paint for the bolts, though. They would've matched your shackle.

JJ, You really need a 3rd Qt for the rear (and then only about a 1/4 of it). Eddo and I just changed my front and rear, and I needed to use a little of the 75w90 to top off the rear 75w140. I think enough of it gets stuck in the oil hand pump that 2qts wont do it. Now that I have done this change, this RL cover is going on my list. what a PITA!

How about if we post pictures of what we have done to our new differential cover? I won’t be installing mine for a few months it’s too darn cold.

You mounted it in the wrong place...I hope your spare isn't on the rear diff...lol

I know that you didn't because I can see the reflection off the tailgate...nice rims

yeah, I was in the process of rotating my tires and changing my oil when I found the handy diff holder.

David-- Gold would probably be great! But my springs. struts and shock boots are red, so thats where that idea came from.

bless, what an optical illusion!

I was trying to figure out how the heck it was sitting on your gate, and why you painted the inside of the cover!! :lol:

Tokyojoe · **Posted:** Mon Dec 11, 2006 12:10 am

Galvanizing this thing might be my option since the sliders were too much of a hassle (tube holes needing drilled).

broncsrule · **Posted:** Tue Dec 12, 2006 10:49 pm

Here is what it looks like on....

So the cover still protrudes out past the shape of the diff casting..............for shame.......they just L.O.S.T a sale.

:evil:

Here it is all mounted up. Plenty of room between it and the gas tank skid. Stock fluid capacity is just a hair over 2 quarts. I recommend 2.25 quarts for this diff cover so you don't overfill it and start blowing fluid out the vent. This cover went on a KJ with the new ARB air locker. Plenty of room for everything, but the little tabs on the sides need to be pried down just a hair, as shown in this picture:

All mounted up (ignore the RTV squeezing out the bolt holes)

Showing amount of room between skid and diff cover

Actually after looking at these pics, I dont see it hanging down below the casting anyhow. Maybe a little at the sides, but you arent going to get hung up there anyhow.
