xjjeepthing · Mar 20, 2006

Take a look at BTF Kryptonite covers. I just put a set on, they are beefy as hell with 1/4 plate and 3/8 ring.

I just recieved the one for my D30 and the one for the 8.8 is in the mail.

I wasn't a fan of the Warns till Winterfest. I watched Randy (Intrepid XJ) beat the crap out of his and they didn't budge. According to him, they've held up great. IIRC, he broke some C4x4 guards and switched to the Warns.

Watching him beat on them, made be a believer.

Check out Crane High Clearance. Theirs replaces the whole diff cover. One piece of solid heavy metal. I got one for the rear because I was tired of the 8.25 cover's lip pealing the cover back everytime I went wheeling.

Greatlakes Offroad has awesome covers that are $110 shipped to your door, so you might want to consider them. GLO can be found on Pirate

Does anyone make just the ring, so that I can make my own?

They dont have any for the 30. Thats what I was after.

I ordered rings for the 30 and 44 ...but i cant remember where from...I'll try to find out ...i seem to think there was a place called offroadfab.net...or something and they had a thread with a link to a place that sells them for all kinds of diffs...about $25 each.

I have a Poison Spyder Customs rock ring for my Ford 8.8 with a link mount. I couldnt find anybody at the time that had the link mount built into the rock ring. It worked out nicely to tie the diff into the truss with out having to weld to the cast pumkin and its beefy as hell with the bolts countersunk into the ring which is 1/2" thick and the guard for the ring gear is 1/4" steel.
