I think I saw that happen, even thought to myself that you were gonna need a cover soon. Haha!
You don't want the cover to hang below the diff housing. When you put the new on make sure it doesn't, if it does, grind it down.
Yeah, I was wondering why the factory made a cover than the lip hangs below the housing. There was no way to raise it high enough.
I guess they never really figured we'd be commuting down a pile of boulders.
I see the problem. You don't have enough bolts holding the cover on.
You guys are killing me.
In due time. lol.
Yep. When I built my cover (3/8" plate) I Made it protect that lip. It humped a few things, all the oil is still in it.
Yours is Scott's fault @muddysub

Can I jump on the smart-ass wagon too??
My rear diff covers all have 12 or 14 bolts!! Only 2 have 12....

It's awesome that you are having fun with it!

How much did you cut off the rear plate cover?
I think maybe 1/2" ?? I don't remember now. It still had 14 bolts, can't remember if it still has a header bolt in the bottom, it Allen head.
I still like what the 9.5 14bolt did for the '90.
Thanks! I do love it. It's changed my life living here, I think in the past year I have been on 17 different trips. Maybe more.
I take it out every chance I get.
Glad you are having fun with it. Are you going to blazer bash?
Absolutely. Wouldn't miss it. Last year was one of the greatest times I've ever had.
I'm glad you didn't tell me you wanted to puke
I resemble that remark.
