Default New SOLID diff covers installed.

so, i finally just around to installing my new diff covers and i love'em . here are some pics:
old cover

the new cover with lube lockers

The folks at Spyntek re-designed the inside so you don't have to grind down the inside anymore for the e-locker

Front

Rear

I'm really glad i got them, and for the price basically being a 2 for 1, i couldn't pass it up.

i don't think there is a difference. like you said, they're really beefy. i think they are really well built and heavy duty stuff. i just can't believe they are selling them so cheap right now. they have been that price for quite awhile now. i love'em. i love the way the look and think they are a terrific product.

amen. i will post my pics as soon as i place mine on. havent had time.

when i first got them i was kinda surprised on the thickness and weight. thats how i knew it really is SOLID. my gf was like "thats what you ordered?" with an attitude like im wasting money. she extended her arm to see it, so i handed to her, and BAM the weight got her. her arm went all the way down while holding the cover and hit her thigh. HA. then i added "watch out, they are heavy." i can see already, i cant tell her im buying stuff for the jeep.

I bought these in late 2008 for my 2007 Sahara and loved them. Just ordered them for my 2010 Rubicon. I can't believe they still have the same sale going over a year later. I also ordered some lubelockers from Northridge.

For those wondering which diff covers to get, you can't beat the Solids for the price.

Soon we will be changing out the bolts so we don't have to keep tightening them up. It gets to be a PITA. Just sharing my experience with them.
have you tried putting some lock tight on the bolts?
