Default Solid diff covers.

Are these any good? Are they made in the U.S.?
Solid has them on there web site for $64, seems to good to be true. I have a Riddler on my front diff and want something for the rear. The solid even has a powdercoat finish.
thanks

I have them also and they've been great. I got them for that price a couple of Christmases ago when they were running a sale. That's a good price .

JP Magazine shot large caliber bullets at a bunch of covers. The stock Dana cover was penetrated by a .22 caliber round.

I have them also on both front and rear. I think they look great, especially for the price.

I think Solid is out of the Dana 44 covers. Found some on EMS offroad, they want $65 + 15 shipping. Should I get this or get the $90 riddler from Northridge.

Should be Dana 44 rear unless you have a odd 2007. front is 44 on Rubicon or 30 on the other models.

They're backordered on the Dana 44s, but will honor the price if you call and place an order while the sale's going on.

I still can't believe the stock cover couldn't stop a .22.

I once bent a 44 tin cover by rolling over the lip with my creeper. NFG against anything other than soft earth and tall grass.
