help me choose new diff covers!

how much

Anybody make a steel cover that is designed to slide over stuff? Kind of like Kert's but with the "razors" covered up?

It's nice to be able to slide over stuff with a shaved rear differential... but if backing up stock-style covers make the housing act like a barb on a hook.

My best example is going to be Crane:

how much is this green badboy cost

$210 for the 14FF and D60.

The funny part is that they sell custom spring plates for only $18 each.

Yeah but spring plates are fairly simple, I don't know exactly how those diff covers are manufactured but I bet a lot of work goes into them. I'd still buy Kerts however.

I'm going to get the GLO 14ff cover. I like the drain plug. It will fully empty the diff. Should I get countersunk holes or just use regular bolts? Does either one offer better clamping forces?

i have glo covers for both of my axles, and the 60 is countersunk and the 14 is not, i didn't notice any clamping differences, i think it is just a cosmetic deal. So if you like the looks of countersunk then get them, if not then dont.. hth..

as much as i wanted Kert's covers, i decided to go with GLOs. beefy as hell and offer several options. paid 230 for both my covers shipped with drain plugs, higher fluid plugs, & 1/2" plating on the 60.

I ordered the Great Lakes Offroad covers. Great price and beefy. Waiting for the mailman to drop them off.

I love my Razorback cover from DIY4X. I got the guardsman from him also. And to be really sweet, buy a ck5 fender badge from him also and put a notch into one of the ribs of the razorback cover and weld the fender badge into it. I just did that and it looks sweet. People will be behind me on the highway and be thinking WTF is that truck and WTF does CK5 mean. I Love It.

So did you ever get pics of this?
