By the way, I re-bent and re-sealed my rear diff cover and it's still leaking. Taken too many hits. I gotta get some HD ones.
I can recommend the Solid covers. Mine took a shit kicking in PA and it is good to go.

Yeah, I like the look of them, too. That's probably what I'll end up getting. Wayne and I are going to order a few things together to hopefully save on shipping charges.

And also OF COURSE it isnt making that "rocks gridning around inside of it" noise it was doing in RC.
mine was fucked up like that, same sounds//


if I can help you guys out by sending covers as a "gift" let me know

Thatwould help lots. Just going through the catalogue to see what else I can order at the same time. I'm thinking inner C gussets, control arm skids. I don't know if I should get rear shock mount skids or relocation brackets.

Kinda hard to say what it is without hearing it. have you checked the oil in your tranny? or is it a clutch noise for sure? Don't forget, when you let your foot off of the clutch, everything in the tranny spins, even in neutral. those noises can be deceiving and hard to find, because they travel. Hope it's okay, man. Anyways, add another piece of trail damage to that damage report. Busted 3 clips off my drivers side fender when I kissed that tree trying to get out of the rock garden. PITA.

4wd doe'snt sell the evo stuff, but you can always buy it and have it shipped here.

IMO. I would pick up relocation brackets, the skids are not a bad idea. But it's still something you get hung up on...

What's the word on you Jeep, man? Are they gonna fix it or at least let you keep some parts?

Do I need to change my shocks with those relocation brackets?

my dick has not been pulled this much since I first got a hard on...


The adjuster finally came out yesterday after two weeks, he then says he's not a loss adjuster, so he cant do shit. there trying to get me to claim it on my insurance. Well it aint going to happen.

I'm not sure on the shock relocation, i would assume you need a shorter shock, but I dont know.

Hmmm, thats what I need as well....one of my shock mounts is pretty much molded around the lower portion of my shock...lol

Also been looking at the Riddle Diff covers, think I may order those soon as well.

Now I just need to figure out what to do about my Mickey Thompson's rubbing on my fenders.....
