Default Diff covers????

I've been leaning towards getting the ARB diff covers but I have been looking at Riddler and now PSC has them for the Dana 44. Cost wise the last two are much cheaper then the ARB but is their a difference between any of these? Also the PSC ones look suck really like the spider!

All three of those are definitely beefy choices. Can't go wrong with any of them.

I have the old style Poison covers - I like how the bolt heads are recessed, and the "bombshell" design helps slide over stuff. I've definitely smacked a few rocks with mine and it has been 100% fine. (Just wish Poison would do some sort of replacement for the new style ones! )

I have Riddler and have 0 complaints. It's taken a few shots and never left me hung up. ARB is way too much money.

I've got solid covers. They are beefy, look good and the price is right!

I am running the riddler diff covers. They are solid as hell. They have taken some big hits without any problems and never get hung up.

I really like the ARB for the dipstick and magnetic plug, but for they are really expensive. From what I have read as well as everyones comments here the Riddler covers are pretty damn good. I have PSC stuff already and haven't been disappointed yet. I haven't looked at the Solid covers but they really good as well.

I got used ARB covers from some nice people on here at a real bargain. Painted them black, and here you go....

I believe the TeraFlex ones were the winners of that shoot out. If you are leaning towards cheaper, the Solid diff covers are fantastic! And inexpensive!
