Well we finally got the diff cover fitted,perfect fit and no mods needed.It sure is pretty also.From being very high clearance you could even shave about 1/2" off the bottom of the diff itself and still not have any cover hanging out.I fitted it onto my diff since we wanted to make sure it had plenty of room with a ARB locker,clears just fine.To bad I had to take it off :cry: .It's made out of 90,000psi ductile iron,and no welds to leak.Fluid capicity will be the same if not a little more then stock.Sorry no drain plug,and will not be offered with one.

That is a thing of beauty. I'm still waiting on my cover from bugnout. Then I still have to send it back to Ruff Stuff because they want to replace it. This would have been the cover I was going to buy if I hadn't gotten such and amazing deal on the Ruff Stuff. It looks killer. 8) Are you going to be able to run these on your new axles Troy? I mean does Riddler make them for the axles you are swapping in?

Very soon,you all will be some of the first to know when they are officially for sale.The one RL has is the first one made to test fit.I can't say actual price but should be similar to his other covers of the same size.

I watched the promo video on these, and they look strong enough.

So, are these in production for the KJ now?

I saw that test a while back when I was researching covers. Very cool test, that Great Lakes thing must be scary bada$$. That would be the last thing to go or give out on your jeep for sure. Kind of a bummer to blow a lot of cool diff covers though. But didn't cost them and it is good advertising for some of the manufacturers. I was also bummed not to see the Ruff Stuff one on there.
