Crane or Riddler

raceinfan · **Posted:** Tue Oct 07, 2008 3:56 pm

which would you choose

Crane or Riddler, YES I know they were both Crane at one time, but if you had to choose

I'm in the market for one now, I have a slightly leaky rear :shock:

no drips yet ( this sounds bad)

anyways, went out this past saturday & wacked it & it ever so slightly strated tp peel, so I want to avoid anymore issues & just buy one that will take a hit

The Riddler is $130 shipped from RL

and the Crane is $139 before shipping from Crane.

I'd go Riddler because of price.

I'm not sure if the sale is still going on but Rokmen is having a sale for Riddler diff covers,he's advertizing 109.95 shipped for the 8.25.

when i got mine, the riddler wasnt avaliable yet. im very happy with it, i got the LubeLocker gasket and love it, so much nicer to install. i would just get whichever one you can get cheaper, both very good. mine came with a Crane hat too! haha

I called Marty & am just waiting for a call back so I can order the Riddler

I made up my mind, gotta get it done ASAP before something happen's

THANK'S GUY'S

RL doesn't make the cover, he sells em. Unless I missed something.

I just sent Romken an email inquiring into the 8.25. I want one of these since I'm getting the rear rebuilt anyway.

Last time I talked to Josh at Crane, he said that the diff covers come painted (green color as shown in the photos). http://www.cranehiclearance.com/ I'm not sure if the Riddler comes painted or what??? Anyway, I'm going with Crane because Josh (the owner) will be installing my ARB front and rear lockers, so I had better buy his diff cover to make everyone happy.

well it's been orderd should be here in 4-5 days, got it straight from Riddler...sorry Marty but I couldn't wait gotta get it done before major issues happen

RAYMAN975 · **Posted:** Wed Oct 08, 2008 6:42 pm

when i ordered my diff cover from crane, i asked if they come painted, he said yes, but they can send it non-painted as well, if you want

raceinfan · **Posted:** Wed Oct 08, 2008 6:51 pm

I didn't even ask about paint, but who needs paint when it'll get banged up anyway, it won't stay nice forever

for some reason this reminds me of Napoleon Dynamite when Kipp backs over the tupper ware to demonstrate it's durability. The tupper ware breaks and he just drives off... lol
