Ive had mine for about 2 years now and have 0 problems with them. They are solid!!! You cant go wrong with the riddlers or Poision Spyders.

[QUOTE=Jeep Hound;1982805]This is what i did with mine.



You would have thought they would have fixed the mold to take out that dimple on the top of the "R". Mine has that mark too and they are 2 years old. Oh well, its just a diff cover.

working on my covers... the best one goes in front...
2-3 coats of primer then 2 good coats of Natural Green Pearl, then white for the design.. a clear coat at the end and I'll see how long the design lasts..

2.375 quarts or 76 ounces, dosen't seem to be enough in the 44 rear. Does the larger cover require more fluid? A little came out when I removed the fill plug and the new fill didn't quite get there. Should I add more to the fill hole or leave it at factory specs?

If you look at your new cover and OEM cover side by side, you'll notice that the fill hole on the riddler is about 2" higher. If you fill it to factory specs you will be fine. I measured the difference between the fill holes and made myself a makeshift dipstick out of a ziptie. I filled it until it was the same level as the stock fill hole, and used a few oz. Over 2 qts.

I did my front and rear Riddlers in three coats of primer and three coats of flat black...beautiful! I installed these with Lube Locker seals. Ditto on the hardware, go get some Grade 8 bolts!

I did not notice that. Thank you! BTW......I broke one grade 8 bolt at 30# of torque. I have them all at 28# with LubeLockers. All's well!

That was an impressive video on the Riddlers!

What size bolt is needed to replace those included with the Riddlers?

Had them on my Dana 44s and they held up great. Can't go wrong with them. My daughter now has them on her Rubicon.
