Default DynaTrac

DYNATRAC I use them and I have no worry when 4 wheeling .I know the Dynatrac covers are solid and will not leek or break .I haven't ruin one Yet
Thay are Super strong were you need it. Slim profile to help eliminate clearance issues like trac bar interference
And the best part 100% Made in the USA

I do not have any reason for supporting Riddler other than they were driven over by a huge earth mover on YouTube and didn't break and I currently have them!
Does the previous poster notice anything in the second and third pictures!

x2 on the Riddlers. Almost bulletproof. Here's my summary of the JP Magazine test. Probably not very scientific, but impressive anyway. The Riddlers are very stout, especially considering the cost.

Too bad they didn't take a shot or two at the ARB diff covers. I guess I will next time I see one.

I have the ARBs and am very happy with them, very slim profile that I was looking for, dual magnets, recessed bolts, already painted, look awesome too.

Went with Riddler on mine. I don't think you can go wrong with ARB either but liked the price better on the Riddler's.

I have the Great Lakes on mine and love them. No issues with clearance either, though I am running the regulars, not the up-armored.
