This is cheaper than the $75 plus shipping I paid in late 2009 for my Rockcrusher...

Solid sucks....................

Wanted to buy there forged D44 hubs they advertize(still) but they have discountinued them 4 years ago but still have them on there web site,and this was 3 years ago that I inquired about them.

That may be the case, Troy. However, with Rockcrusher being out of business, the Crane being expensive ($189), the ARB being "vaporware" (so far), and the RuffStuff being "problematic", that leaves the choices for the Chrysler 8.25" diff cover as Riddler ($125) or Solid ($65).

Everybody can't afford a Crane... :wink:

i got one. Even if it sucks, it's still ten times better then the stock cover. It's beefy as hell, and my rear diff holds about 4.5 quarts now. haven't had any issues at all with it.

Not saying the cover sucks(never seen one) just the company itself sucks.

One of my buds has a riddler cover and he said that this one is thicker then his.

Here's my finished product. Going to slap it on this weekend if there's time.

Tons of Companies make a Decent priced 8.25" cover The BTF fab cover is awesome (1/4" Plate), I would have used it on my build but used a Riddler (89.99 @ 4wheelparts on sale at the time) because I needed the clearance. My gripe with the solid cover and covers like it i.e. the G2 Gear and Axle aluminum cover on the front of my KJ, is that that webbing is just something else to get you hung up on or to stick out and cause a crack in the cover with a hard side impact. Because of that My G2 cover will become a Riddler,Crane, or Poison Spyder cover soon enough.
