What's good with their products, it's all one piece, heavy yes, but you don't have a separate plate. They are where I'm going to ea when my diff funds are met.

My Riddler's were great. D30 & C8.25. Free shipping and tax free from Rokman. It was like $220 for the pair I think. I beat the snot out of them and didn't scratch them.

I really like my ARB D30 cover. Real tough and looks pretty.

When I get my rear diff cover, I'm definitely going with Ruffstuff

X a bunch. Ruff Stuff.
REALLY well built!
Dan is great to deal with.
Excellent prices.
Excellent price on shipping. I ordered thre (D30, D44 & 8.8) and they all fit in one flat rate box. Shipping across the country was $11 for all three.
I've been wheeling them for years without a problem.

for a budget, you can't beat the SOLID diff covers for $65 each.

but otherwise ruffstuff wins.

I bought a barnes4wd diff cover and the holes wouldnt line up and the cover part is too close to the bolt holes for me to install a regular hex bolt. they have to run the silly allen bolts.
