Budget Dana 30 Diff cover or Guard

(1/7) > >>

BlacXJeep:
Put a good Quarter size dent In my front diff at Breakneck. Looking for some opinions on what to go with. Cover or skid/guard? And what brand? If I could get a decent product and stay under/around $100 that would be super. Trying not to break my wallet but at the same time not compromise quality too much. Right now I'm thinking about going with the
solid cover which is $80. Anybody have any of their products? what do you reccomend?

kirksjeep:
I have Solid Diff covers front and rear.  They recently lowered thier prices from $120 down to $80 and over Cristmas they were as cheap as $60.  They are very heavy and have a lifetime warranty.  The "kit" includes the cover, new allen head bolts, tube of gasket maker, and a sticker.  If you call them directly they will give you a 5% Military discount and with shipping the total is $90. 

When I installed mine I re-used the stock bolts that were in the D30 and 8.8.  The Allen bolts were ok, but I decided to stay with the standard bolts since they are harder to strip out. 

Axle:
X2, what he said.  Solid diff covers are fairly cheap and worth every penny.

BlacXJeep:
Ok, so I guess I had already made the right choice! thanks guys

Axle:
They (Solid) make two versions for the Dana 30.  Aluminum and Steel.  Be sure you get the steel version.  The aluminum one is strong, but when you scrape it on a rock, you'll lose a lot of material.  The steel is better in that department, but they retain more heat and for longer periods than the aluminum.  Not really a big deal when you are off road going <5mph imo.
