I agree. Best for the price, Riddler. Best at any price, ARB.

I run Riddler.

I run Teraflex for now. I don'ty think it makes a big difference which brand you pick once you get into the aftermarket diff covers. Unless you do some serious wheeling you won't see a difference.

Mine have made it through some tough trails at Disney

I say TF for now because Friday my PR44 gets here, and then I regear the rear and will run Dynatrac up front and ARB in the rear (came free with the locker).

And for quality that is my opinion - Dynatrac or ARB diff covers. But TF has served me well.

Installs easy. remove bolts on stock cover, give it a hit with a rubber hammer. Clean gears with brake cleaner, scrape off RTV sealant. Install new cover (Suggest using lubelocker gasket instead of RTV)

Heres a write up

Several folks in my area run Riddler.
One difference Ive seen in some is where the diff fluid filler location is. The second difference is the design. Other than that, no real differences in them.
