Default Which diff cover?

So when my front end blew it blew a hole in the diff cover, so I need a new one. Any recommendations? Its for a d30 front. Cheaper the better, dont want to throw too much money at this turd.

if price is a big factor go with SOLID ...... Best price and great quality .... Only neg is you have to make a little dip stick to check fluid level ... No biggie

I have a Poison Spyder cover for the front. One of the cheapest you can get but the quality is great.

Find someone who has one just sitting in their garage. They can give it to you or sell you it for $30. or you could just weld the old one.

I would check around here for a Open D30 laying around. I would have given you mine for shipping but I already gave it away to a member of my jeep club for free since he blew his up too.

I'm sure someone has an open D30 laying around since we all just pull and replace them.
