"Solid" Differential Covers
Anyone running "Solid" Brand Diff covers? most full covers are over $100 and they list the thickness...3/8 or 7/16 cast steel.
Solid has lifetime warranty, and it just says "Thick nodular iron casting with reinforcing ribs"
Both Dana 30 and Chry 8.25 are $65.00 @

get a welded cover, not a cast cover. better to get a dent that you can bang out than shatter the cover on the trail. so get one from ruffstuff

I'm sure there not the most HD Differential Covers, but for me, I don't do a whole lot of rock crawling so i'm good. I only got them because it was a deal, and might as well change them when I was changing the differential oil.

i run a rockcrusher on my 44 which is essentially the same thing as a solid cover, just with a different name on it. i have put it through abuse and its still holding strong. it would take a massive hit to crack it...

Thanks, yeah for the money, you can't beat them...I think they will hold up to average abuse, def better than the stock ones....if i was racing thru a rock garden, then I might spend some more money....

Solid, Rock crusher and a few otheres are all basically the same, just with different names cast in the front.
I personally run an ARB cover.. I can drain my diff (via drain plug). and check the level of my fluid via a dipstick.
And since it is a cast style dif cover with recessed bolts I dont have to worry about denting it in any way
