Any 3/16" steel diff cover is going to be "bulletproof". That diff looks like it was shot with standard 9mm or .40s&w lead...Most reputable aftermarket diffs would take that kind of small caliber abuse...I don't know how any of that translates to real world off-roading but if you're into shady marketing ploys I guess it makes sense?

I would be more careful about the psycho's on the trails with industrial diamond drill bits boring holes out of your diffs than the people shooting at them

 

Yeah, last time on the trail, I saw a Bigfoot runnin around with a cordless drill, was wondering what he was up too.

 

If your hitting things that hard, that you need a bulletproof cover, you're going to break something else on the axle anyway. Go over the hill a little slower so you don't wave your front diff at the enemy.

 

Posted this a while back on another thread. Deciphered the shootout article.

The Great Lakes Extreme Offroad came in behind both Cast Iron and Cast Steel. It isn't until it is beefed up to extraordinary lengths does it win. And "win" is against bullets, not real-world trail damage.

So if you plan to hide behind your Great Lakes diff cover during a drug deal gone bad, go for it. There are cheaper alternatives that are plenty strong.

 

I've yet to see a rock going 930 fps .22 lr let alone 4,150 fps 22-250.

That wasn't Bigfoot. It was just some unkempt Coon Ass.
