Is that muffler blowing right on the shock? I would think the heat from that would eventually fry it? It kinda looks like a ricer muffler...lol

Diff covers look great, what are they mad of? Something like 1/4in plate?

[Joe Guilbeau]

Pretty snazzy in a Mad Max/WaterWorld sorta way...

What?

No digital reasout of gear oil level and viscosity vs. hours?

[Merc69]

Very nice...I picked up one for the 14 bolt rear and will later get one for the 60 front. I think you should be able to bounce off rocks with no problem.

Have you trimmed that 14 bolt any?

[robselina]

they look like they're made of out tin! :D :D :D

I gather the ring on these things is like 0.5" thick, that the case?

I see you got the ones where they didn't grind their welds smooth. I like the look of those much better. Well done welds are PRETTY!!!!

[rstep]

They look awlsome

[dnixon]

What no chrome? smile.gif

Nice work..yeah the welds look better.. not worth the extra money to have them smooth them.

psuedo off subject question... with a 14 blt rear, how well is that driveshaft working being all angled like it is..i wanna run a ff 14, and eventually a d300 tcase, but i wanna know how well a 14 would run "temporarily with qtrac...

The covers have a 3/8 in ring and the cover part is 1/4. I love them. I haven't shaved my diff at all with the 39.5 I have the about same clearance as before with 44 and 37 in tires. As far as the shock haven't had any problems. I just need to rejet the thing is running rich.

Love the covers! Are there two ubolts holding the front spring on? I only see one in the pic.

those are some tough diff covers.

[Sycho15]

Slightly off-topic, but... has anyone seen those D44 diff coveres made out of torched-and-drilled Ford TTB housings?

Looks awesome man. I've seen those diff covers made in person. Lots of work go into those babies.

[jason21]

those are nice how thick are they?

[blt2krl]

3/8 ring and 1/4in plate for the actual cover.

[zulu]

nice very nice

[jason21]

nice and thick those wont brake

[FullsizeWagon]

I just got my covers back from the powder coat shop. They are super beef. I will try and post picks when I get them on. D44 front and M20 rear.

[jeepsr4ever]

Dan offers some very nice items, I like the fact that he listens to his customers and also offeres these are unwelded pieces

[FullsizeWagon]

blt2krl,

How flat were your covers when you got them? As in, was there any wobble when you set them flange down on a flat surface?

My covers aren't totally flat and I was wondering if RTV will take up some of the slack or if I need to get them machined to be perfectly flat...

TIA

They look cool, btw.

TIAThe covers seated perfectly. NO wobbles at all. I would think you would want a good machined surface to prevent the sucker from leaking. I guess it would depend on how much and how many high and low spots you had..

[billyrb]

hehehe, I hear ya! I do like the more rugged look of the blue-torch covers. So, when do you plan on wheelin' that bad boy around the east???

[blt2krl]

Hopefully in a year or so... If everything goes right...

[billyrb]

so do I hear an ECI trip?

[blt2krl]

Possible, depends on some funds....

[jeepsr4ever]

[billyrb]
