Thanks for the suggestions guys. Think I'll order one from, 'Solid' and see how it works out. I want peace of mind when we go deer hunting this coming fall. We have to 4-wheel an old creek bed for almost 2 miles to get to our camping area. Feels like 200 miles. Wiped out mentally afterwards.

Good choice , just keep in mind that the bolts are exposed and will be bashed in on the rocks so be careful not to hit into it to much if possible. Get yourself a big ole synergy tierod, it's so stout and will protect your diff a bit too!

I was told to buy some socket head bolts for the Solid diff cover so if you scrape them up a bit, you can still remove them later.

Soooo would the Poison Spyder be a better way to go vs the Solid? If I had to choose between the two? Or same thing would happen? Thx

I'm not expert, but it's my understanding the Posion Spyder may rub. I'm leaning towards Teraflex or Solid and based on the cost, probably the Solids so I can get the lube locker gaskets.
