Best Diff Covers?
Hey all, I've been scouting around for diff covers for my front D30 and (possibly) rear Chrysler 8.25...any suggestions on where and what to look for?
Currently had my eye on the ARBs at the high-end and SOLID at the more budgety end. However, haven't seen any Chryco 8.25 covers anywhere...is it typical to cover that baby up in the back or is it more just an issue of aftermarket support?

I got one of these up front and have bashed it pretty good and it still looks new.

I have the Solid cover for my Chrysler 8.25. I painted the "SOLID" same as my exterior. For the price, I like it.

I'd read on this guy in Australia's XJ page (google it as "Go Jeep XJ" or close to that) that he used "Mr. Concept" diff covers that were aluminum and 60% better for heat conduction than steel or iron.
Figure that's more of an issue in a desert climate? Can the aluminum hold up in terms of strength? And, lastly, anybody know of this Mr. Concept company - I can't find it anywhere.
