diff cover build

scottanchee · Apr 12, 2007

I wanted a really strong diff cover and I am a cheap ass so I decided to build my own out of 1/4 in hard plate
cutting it out with the plasma

Here it is finished and painted

Shaved my diff too

I swapped in rear disc brakes

The new cover rocks

nice job

If I only had a flaming hacksaw I would build my own too. I really like yours though.

Pretty sweet. I agree, a plasma cutter would be the ultimate tool in the garage. I use the one here at school from time to time when no one's looking :scottm:

But I graduate in a month, so they might frown on my Jeep sitting inside the shop all the time

Nice job

That is pobably the baddest diff cover I've seen (ever). Perfect fabrication!

Thanks for the detailed pics. This thread has inspired me to purchace a plasma cutter (ASAP). I lost access to lasers when I changed jobs last year.

Awesome!

91Woody · Apr 12, 2007

Wow, great Job!!!
I'm a cheap ass too, but I'm so cheap that I don't have a plasma cutter either. or a welder.:wow:
If you decide to build any more, shoot me a PM.

I bought a 4.5 in BDS lift and it works and flexes great but it was just not enough so I put in a 2in lift block and a 1.5 in front spacer and I just put in LTB 34 - 10.50 -15 today so now there is lots of room

Nah think he was meaning a "drain" plug on the bottom to just drain it without removing the cover.

Looks sweet. At a glance, it looks like an OX locker, but without yellow text.

I thought about that , but I thought it would be better to take the cover off to change the oil so I could inspect the gears and make sure evrything is where it should be
