Thought the only color you could get was red?

You means it is not good?

Came in finally, its beautiful.
Now, I read synthetic 75-140 is known to fry pinion bearings in the 8.25, so what rear diff lube should I use? My climate is the full gamet in Northern Nevada/Lake Tahoe with a daily commute and big elevation gains/losses.

Ooo that does look nice!

Did you have OE before or did you upgrade to a riddler?

Was told about this Solid diff. cover and it was very affordable and seems to be fairly stout. Only time will tell. Opinions? (Tom?, Tony?)

Sure is convenient having a hi lift and bumpers!

Don't forget this step- marking the dipstick to the same level as the old fill hole.

Installed

Stock diff has a magnet in the bottom of it to catch particles already. Not seeing how the ARB or the G2 is any big deal , just flashy is all , like a new diamond on the girlfriends ring finger

Well I certainly didn't get mine to be flashy, I wanted ARB quality and protection. The fancy red paint is a side benefit the way I see it.

Nice.
Your money spend it in what you want. I was looking at a MI maker of diff covers. But I thought they didn't have room on a KK. So if this fits theirs might too.

Not interested in something somebody posts then ignore it.

Well do a reverse hitting a stone and see if the tiny OEM differential cover will handle like the G2 o arb. You are right about the magnet in the bottom, but the purpose of these 2 it is not to remove them any more for this you can catch up the particles with one of the taps.

Bought the Solid Axle diff. for +/-$80 to the door. Appears to be stronger than stock. Only time will tell. I would greatly appreciate anyone with any experience with this unit letting me know what they think. Thanks in advance.
