I run solid front/rear. $65 a piece you can't beat them. They're beefy af. I run the RK track bar with 1.5" Dom tie rod and have no contact. Lube lockers are awesome too. I've had mine on/off 4 times and they still seal perfect.

The solid covers do seem like you get a lot for the price which is always welcome in my book and it's great to hear no additional work is needed.

I'm currently leaning in this direction of preferences.

1. Mopar front/rear covers (I found them for $154 ea.) $308 total.
2. Solid front/rear covers $130 total (edited)
3. TF front/rear covers $180 total

The Mopar are higher in price in comparison but within my comfort zone. So I may go the Mopar route. I like the way they look. I like the prices on the Solid and TF however for what you get.

You can pick up a pair of JK Solid covers from their website currently for $128. No fit problems on my '13 JKU either.

I know right. I'm hoping someone will talk me out of my own stupidity and be like, "Those mopar's are awful for reasons, a,b, and c." or tell me, "those mopar's add 10 H.P. of additional torque and will make your gears last another 500K miles", to help me justify my stupidity.

The thing I don't particularly like about the solids are the color. Everything else is painted black underneath. I might have to buy an additional $8 worth of spray paint if I go with the Solids.

Default How About G2?

I have G2 Axleshafts and a G2 Hammer Cover.

I wanted a Torque Cover but they don't make one for the D44

They make a 44 Cover in Brute.... But I could not Justify the $250 price tag.

*Edit* Only do that if you have a Lube locker....

Also if you don't have them get them. I have them some of the best advice given to me so far.

The housing themselves have a drain plug built in. No need for a drain plug in the diff cover.
