Default Pumpkin Covers

Has anyone found a pumpkin cover to fit over the stock Dana 44's front and rear for a Rubicon Unlimited?

There are a lot, and i do mean a LOT to choose from. A bunch of styles and price ranges, but the average seems to be right around $100~120 ea. Quick list of the top of my noggin: Solid(used to be RockCrusher), Arb, Blue torch, Riddler, FabFour, RuggedRidge, Warrior, etc... I am sure i overlooked a lot..

There are complete replacement covers, Warn makes a bolt on half-cover, but never seen one in person... or bolt on guards if that is your choice, though i am leary of recommending those guards as the swaybar may well run into them, It's close and some have had issues with replacement covers making contact, the guards it would seem would stick out a lot more.

I called my differential a pumpkin (still do sometimes) and people looked at me like i had a turnip on my head. (not that I am not used to such looks, it just struck me odd that this would be the reason they chose at that particular moment)

Any of the online vendors carry them. Personally i have a RockCrusher(Now Solid), and a Solid under mine, pretty beefy.

Just search for "Diff cover", and youl find tons.

Where did you find the riddler cover with free shipping? I think I'm going to have to get one because my SOLID front cover rubs alot on the FT trac bar and Superlift SS. Ive tried moving stuff around but still rubs. Does anyone have these issues with the Riddlers? Seems like the low profile should keep it clear.
