Time to get it all covered up!

We have been making these for 8 years now and I am very happy to be able to provide such a tough cover! Thanks for buying so many :)

Its beyond time ;)

Dodge covers coming for the towing crowd ;)

Thanks for a great week everyone!

Happy Sunday, I hope you are all getting something done this weekend!

And another holiday! Don't worry, we are working ;)

FYI, we have only 7 Dana 44 covers til next Tuesday...

Down to 3!

Time to make that axle bombproof, time for Ruffstuff!

3/8" Thick was not just a good idea 7 years ago when we started making them that thick, it was the way of the future ;)

All in stock except Dana 60's again, Tuesday we will have a new batch to weld up!

We make these in batches of 100 and we still run out between batches, time to move up to 120 I guess...

Dan, Could you give me a measurment of the D44 diff cover from the gasket surface to the highest point? I need to make sure it will clear my steering linkage befor I pull the trigger and order it up.

It was interesting but completely expected news...

Getting ready to button up the new axle? No better way ;)

The boys are welding fools this week! They are trying to build a ton of inventory because we will only have 1 welder in the shop while we are at KOH...and he is going to be busy, likely working 12 hour days while we are away!

Its already been a long weekend and its only half over, too much to do still for KOH!

Time to get one coming your way!

All but the Sterling are in stock!

3/8" Of protection ;)

Busy week!

Quote for D60 cover w/ drain plug and counter-sunk bolts... I don't really need you to counter-sink, as I can do that, but I would need the bolts. Shipped to 35128. Thanks

Sounds good. I will probably order today. You guys used to sell weld-on beadlocks kits. Do you still? If so, how much for a set of 4 for 15" wheels?

With the rising cost of steel we simply cannot sell them for a fair price any longer. In the west we are too far from the source of the steel. When I need them I get them from Zack at AtoZ fab, he has the best price going.

Yes, I regularly recommend other providers if they make something for a better price. And Zack is a good provider too!

The strongest fabricated housing made (and its flat too ;))

hey do you guys have any plans on making a 13 bolt cover for the 14b? I want to do the shave and Id like get it from you. thanks

Right now I do not. I don't entirely agree with welding to the casting. Many people that did this a year or so ago when it started to become popular are now having big leaking issues. The IDEA is great but not everyone is prepared to execute properly and the instructions I see givven are completely inadequate or even outright wrong, as if a skilled experienced welder wasn't even asked...

I couldn't agree more. Many people don't realize the steps to properly weld to cast. Is there enough material there to do some kind of bolt on kit? That would open up a new market.

Im sorry I dont think I was very clear the first time. I wasent talking about a "full" shave where you cut open the bottom of the diff and weld a flat piece in. just a modified cover that would allow shave up to, and maybe eliminate the bottom cover bolt.

Lots of people shave our cover like you are describing, I would want to add a couple of smaller holes to do it right though. However it will very likely leak just due to the spread between the holes.

Dodge covers yet?

Sorry, we have been very busy and haven't gotten them done yet...Which one were you intersted in?

you know I cant believe I didnt think of just shaving the cover. I saw a few places that were selling the covers already shaved and i guess i just got stuck on that. thanks. hopfully ill be buying a cover sooner then later.

It has worked forever...!

Time to cover it all up in a thick layer of steel!

Thanks for a busy weekend!

Time to bring these up ;)

Only the best :)

Time to get a pair of your own!

I got one of these, for a d60 and have a ARB locker, and was surprised to see that the cover hits the copper air line on the non ring-gear side, I could make the modification myself, but I think that it would maybe warp it, and thats why I didn't build from scratch in the first place??? any help???

It all depends on who installs the ARB. You can install them out of the wau but I would just bend the line.

Time for a bump! We have over 250 covers in stock :)

Time for a spring fixit party!

Always a good time for an upgrade!

Do you make one for the Ford 10.5?

Time to do it up the right way ;)

I hope everyone is having a great holiday!

I hate going back to work after a holiday, I only want my own leftovers ;)

Time is getting down to the wire if you want to be done by spring ;)

8 years in the making ;)

Its time ;)

We had a great weekend, I hope you all did. Really nice spring weather here!

Nearly the middle of the week! Get one before the weekend ;)

3/8" Works for me!

Always a good thing!

A perfect Saturday morning project!

Sunday is good for projects too ;)

Can't seem to find the Dodge 9.25 on your website?!? I know most aftermarket diff covers won't work on a Power Wagon because the sway bar hits, any idea how much further it sticks out than stock?

Any plans on making a 10.5" for the back end?

Any progress on these??? :cool:

Any progress on these??? :cool:
The 9.25 is being cut but we haven't had the time to work on the 10.5 yet...

These will get you there AND back ;)

Time to try the best!

Almost time to call it a day!

Way busy norning, thanks Pirate!

Again, we now have 4 people on the phones all the time but are installing a 10 line system later in the week, its getting that way!

What a day and its only 1pm! Thanks for all the orders :)

i have a 14 bolt semi float axle i got from a hummer h2... do you have a cover with a drain plug and a fill plug that will work? I'm looking for something stronger than the aluminum cover i have now?

I'm sorry but we do not make the semi float axle covers yet...

I'm sorry but we do not make the semi float axle covers yet...

ok i'll check back as soon as i get my ff installed.

Monday morning, time to start thinking what you are going to do to your rig next weekend!

Time to think about beating hard on your rig? These will take you worries away!

They are cut, waiting on bending...

Checking in on the 10.25 covers. Any word?
Thanks

Guess I should get on here more often and look around.
Do you sell the Yellow Dana 44 diff cover on the first page? I Have a yellow Scout, might look pretty bad ass with yellow diff covers.

We had that one coated as a test to see how it did in shipping, that was over 7 years ago. It arrived very scratched up so we decided to never powdercoat them... Sorry, but now there are powdercoat shops on every street corner...

Not yet, we had the opportunity to be 100% in stock and we took it, they will be done late this week though. And of course we are back to 99% in stock but 100% felt really good for the 4 days it lasted ;) We make 590 parts and we are just about always out of 3 or 4 things, right now it is 3...

Stopped by the shop to meet the boys and see all the goodies. It's better than willy wonkas chocolate factory in there! The housings are some sick shit! I will be going that route some day. Everything I put in my shopping bag was 3/8" or thicker. Quality operation.

Thanks for the T-shirt, fellas!

Thanks, it is kind of like a toy shop for adults!

Get to it!

I was thinking about that today, it really is knid of cool being able to make whatever you want... But, there is never the time to do it!

i wish you could make me a beefy diff cover for my h2 rear axle...

I have never even looked under an H2... What do they run? Is this an off road truck or a pretty one?

I wheel my truck hard dude.

And they have a 14 bolt semi float axle with a 9.5" ring gear. And an eaton e-locker.

I wheel my truck hard dude.
No worries, what rear axle does it have?


Sorry, responded too fast. I don't know if anyone is making one for the SF, maybe its time...

It's all good. There are a couple people that make some aluminum covers. Like the one I have from oru. But I want something a lot beefier.the only issue is that it has to be made to clear the panhard bar. So it can't stick out much from the axle.

Any chance of a Dana 80 cover?

We really have had no demand for them. I think you need to run 50" tires before they clear the ground, they are a very tall housing...I haven't measured but they look to have about 2" less clearance than a 14 bolt.

Time to get finished already, I hope you are ready for the long weekend!

Still working on it for the weekend? Get on it! Everyone have a great weekend :)
