I have ARB front and rear with Lubelockers. I love them, they look great and make service very easy. They are powdercoated very nicely so will hold up much better than paint, well worth the price. I got mine from Dave at Northridge 4x4, he had a package deal for front and rear with lubelockers, excellent deal on an excellent product.

Blue torch fab for me, they're fabricated steel and the rocks won't break them.

Riddler front and back for me. I'd buy them a again. Gave them some test shots last weekend and the only thing hurtin' is my paint job.

I would, however, use lube lockers next time so I don't have to deal with messy gaskets.

No ones mentioned Teraflex covers yet so lets throw them in the mix. Mine have taken a couple good hits and are holding up . They look go as well.

I have poison spyders front and rear, and they are great. My only complaint is lack of a drain hole. Getting the wife a Jeep in a couple months and no doubt she will also want them. The only other ones I would consider are solid and riddler. I like ARB but like all their other products, man they $$$......

deciding between Ruff Stuff diff covers and Solid.
Ruff Stuff will add drain plug and I liek the idea of all steel, Solid price point can't be beat. They all appear to be good products and most seem to come raw which also explains the lower cost versus ARB and others that come powder coated...

Dynatrac cover that came on their 44. impressed so far, wheeling with it for the first time this weekend and scrapped it once or twice. although the bolts are not recessed like ARB's, they have 'gussets' or 'bridges' whatever you would like to call it, that guard the bolt heads from hits.
