Default Anyone wanting a HD Diff cover??

Just thought I would give everyone a heads up.. Solid Axle has a sale on their diff covers of $65 each and shipping was free for me..Figured I would pass this on in case anyone was interested. They also did very well in JP Magazines tests on them at the firing range with some pretty big guns..

here's a link to them on their site..

I was clued into this on another site and I placed my order for my D30 cover about an hour ago. hopefully I will have it in the next week or 2. not sure how their shipping times are ut I will find out.
they had this same sale back in december but it only went through the holidays. I didnt have the cash for em then especially with the holidays goin on and technically still dont, but considering what 65 bux typically get you for axle protection I couldnt miss out this time.
guess its PB&J for lunch for a while. LOL

once I get it I will pass on how it works out for me.

Watch your peanut butter as much has been recalled for possible salmonella.

On another note they seem to have no cover for a Chryco 8.25" rear axle.

yea PB&J might not be a good idea right now. I'll go for the mercury poisoning from TUNAFISH instead LOL.

yea I dont see a cover for the 8.25 but I personally am not worried about it because I plan on doin an 8.8 sometime in the not to distant future hopefully. maybe spring or summer. unfortunately I dont have the cash to blow on an 8.8 cover or I would in a heartbeat.

Just an FYI it took 5 days for them to process my order. I haven't received any sort of a tracking number yet but I would assume should be here next week. Never ordered anything that took that long to process, and they didn't even return my phone call. Good price but customer service is lacking. Hoping the product it good so it out ways the lack of customer service..
