I recently installed an SYE and my shims in the rear diff caused the rear diff cover to be a little more vulnerable. I decided I hadn't mig welded in over 10 years and was dying to get back into it. I ordered a Blue Torch Fab do it yourself diff cover and welded it up. It turned out pretty good considering it was the first time I welded in so long.

 

By the way, the cover is 1/4 plate and the ring is 3/8". I welded it inside and out and there are no leaks.

 

almost looks like it was made by a machine... good work

 

Thanks! I was very happy with the outcome.

 

Looks great!

 

That looks REAL good FamilyXJ I wish I could weld like that...Tj

 

Good job, man. That thing looks bombproof.

 

very good i guess welding is like riding a bicycle

 

dam, that does look like it was done by a machine, awesome welding....

 

good job

 

Thanks for all of the comments. I really enjoyed the project. I have been trying to figure out what to do next so I can weld some more.

 

I started on the inside so I was able to run a few beads before I welded the outside of the cover. Even the welds on the inside looked good, but the welds on the outside of the cover were definitely straighter and more uniform. Thanks again for the comments.

 

Thats one bad cover you got there. Looks sweet, I wish I had the skills to put that together if i bought one. Dead line, I'm jealous.

 

heck if i had those skills id be making front and rear bumpers, rocksliders, all kinds a cool stuff.....you gots skillz

 

Yep those welds look like the textbook stack of dimes. Great job.
