Default Solid Differential Cover

So, ever since the 65 dollar sale for the Solid diff. cover, I've been waiting for the Dana 44 cover to come back into stock at Solid Axle. It's just about time to service my rear diff for sure, and I want to do both at the same time, and replace the stock covers. If you buy them anywhere else, it's at least $110 bucks, where the SOLID site has them for $80, they just never come into stock. I'll be getting the Riddlers from Northridge, I guess. [/end rant]

You'll love the Riddlers , I recommend the LubeBlocker seals as well.

I was impressed by the Riddler video, was just trying to save cash, but if all things are equal, I'll get the Riddlers.

Dave, that includeds the mounting hardware and the Permatex sealant, right?

FYI - You will need some spray paint as they come as bare castings. I used the Rustolium stuff with a hammered finish and they came out looking great. Also, I think you need to add more than the recommended amount of gear oil as the Riddlers increase the oil capacity a bit.

Ordered 2 of the D44 Riddler covers from Northridge this morning. I can find several brands of Engine Enamel, but none of the Engine Enamel primer neccesary for each brand, went with regular Krylon Rust Tough Enamel and the appropriate primer.

I picked up a set of Riddlers for my my Jk and love them. I had them powder coated in hopes that it will prove a bit tougher than enamel but it may been a waste of money. I'll let everyone know how the powder coat hold up at Moab!
