Default Diff cover

I replaced my stock covers with ARB diff covers. Two reasons; Bullet proof solid steel and they have a DIPSTICK with a magnet so you can see the oil level and wheather or not there are any nasty pieces of gears in the oil..

I just installed the Solid covers this weekend when my 5.13s went in and they kick ass. Paid $120 shipped also, after a discount. Can;t beat 2 tough covers for the price of one in my book. They come powder coated and they look bad ass. All in all, a great deal

ARB tough as nails, two magnets, stronger cross members across the cover, and the infamous dipstick to measure the oil. I love mine and they weren't that much more than the other brands.

I would like the ARB's but I can get 2 solids for about $130. That's half the price
