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

That would be $124.45 delivered with the PBB10 discount, 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!

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?

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.

Gravel Maker · 02-23-2012, 10:56 AM

It has worked forever...!

Gravel Maker · 02-24-2012, 04:31 PM

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

Gravel Maker · 02-26-2012, 06:48 PM

Thanks for a busy weekend!

Gravel Maker · 02-28-2012, 01:49 PM

Time to bring these up

Gravel Maker · 02-29-2012, 06:39 PM

Only the best

Gravel Maker · 03-04-2012, 04:10 PM

Time to get a pair of your own!

ccwwcj · 03-04-2012, 08:21 PM

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???

Gravel Maker · 03-04-2012, 08:27 PM

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