Pics of your diff cover please....
Sometime before summer I'm going to be upgrading my diffs. Maybe front and back but at least the rear. While I'm at it I might as well get a new pretty (but functional, stronger) diff cover because my crappy stock one looks like it came from a rusting Dodge. Here is one I found from a guy on explorerforum that I like a lot. It's obviously RockCrusher but he powercoated it. I haven't found any numbers but are the RockCrusher diff covers stronger than the stock stamped cover?
Thanks and post up your pictures, thanks!

I assume the they you're referring to is the RockCrusher?
Here is a neat little bulletproof test

My stock cover is plastic. Is that gay or what. The more i am reminded of the cheapness of the ranger the more i hate it. Sorry for the rant
www.Ruffstuffspecialties.com has a beefy diff cover.

BTF, Ruff Stuff.. they all have really nice beefy stuff
rock crusher's covers are supposed to be near indestructible..
dynatrac's are also beefy but i dont think they make them for an 8.8.. D60s and maybe 44s?
ALL of which are 100x stronger than stock. maybe 100's an exaggeration but you get the point..
i forgot who offered it but if you destroyed one of they're covers they would replace it for free
i also didnt read they whole thread. but putting a thick cover on the front diff is useless. if you get a rock into that cover that will be the least of your problems haha.. with the explorer IRS cover.. they look all pretty but they're just thin ones too
i wish i had got a full cover.. like the ruff stuff one but i got this.
I figured why spend the extra what? $30-50 for a full one, i figured if your getting the top of the diff your in some tricky ****
