I would like to add some under body protection.

is differential cover a good thing or waste of money?

 

good thing, but im not sure what you would hit it on in naples

 

I just installed the new Mopar diff covers on my unlimited, they are made by Dynatrac and are not even comparable with the stock ones, definitely makes me feel more secure about bashing them on a rock and not having to worry about busting the covers

 

I just finisehd painting my new Riddler covers that I got from Northridge. I am hopefully going to be putting them on tonight. Reason I bought them is that both my stock ones have been banged up a bit and show signs of seepage. Plus, with some recent deep water/mud crossings I've done, I think its best I change my gear oil...so might as well put on some heavy duty covers.

 

If I add ARB locker and regear to 4.88, will the same differential cover work?

 

Stock covers are thin and leak easy when they take a hit. My Riddlers have scars all over them and not one sign of leaking diff fluid. Highly recommended.

 

yes, they will

 

there are many choices for differential cover

ARB, riddler, teraflex, warn

which one do you recommend

 

in spite of what some will try to suggest, they're all good and will do their job well. what i do like about the ARB cover is that it has a fill plug located in a high position and with a magnetic dip stick. this allows you to more accurately fill your diff and, in the event you need to check for a possible break of your ring & pinion, you can a quick check for metal chunks without having to pull your diff cover. trust me, i have done this before and it has come in handy.

 

will any of these interfere with a monster sized tie rod? I plan on getting each eventually (diff cover and tie rod) and don't have to buy again due to fitment issues.
