Sweet diff covers...cheap!

[rockjeep44]

I threw down and ordered one for my Dana 60 front. You can't beat the price. Thought I would pass along the info. BTW, these aren't cheap knock offs. They are the real deal. :thumbsup:

[robselina]

Thanks Andrew! just bought one for my 60 rear. Fed up of that thing peeling back!

[rockjeep44]

Awesome. They are backordered but at that price who gives a crap. I would have ordered two but I already got a nice rear guard.

[jode]

:eek:
WOW! Thanks for the link.

[BRUTUS]

Too bad they don't offer one for a Pro Rock 60 :D... good thing Dynatrak already took care of it for me... whew!

[youngjeeper]

You should of spent more money on that 60 and gotten dedenbear knuckles

[J10Mike]

Wow...I can't pass that up. Thanks for the tip Andrew.

[robselina]

They are backordered but at that price who gives a crap.

Guess they're expecting them by the end of the month or first week in September at the latest.

I went ahead and added a D44 cover to my order too for the front. More turd polish! :thumbsup:

[FSJeep80]

I even ordered one for the D44 in my lo buck truggy! I should grab one for the D30HP in my XJ too (talk about polishing a turd!). FSJeep80

[McRoth]

OK, I posted that link back in July & didn't get a single response or anything! I ordered one for my D60 rear & 44 front a while ago.

Mike,
I do remember your post last month. But, I had forgotten about it until Andrew brought it back up. You do deserve the credit for the original tip and Andrew for the reminder tip. Thanks Buddy.

Yup I seen your Thread on these and did order one for my 14 bolt and Dana 60

[robselina]

after reading up on anther board, I guess these things have been 'backordered' for at least 6 weeks if not more.....Also, mad4wd isn't a rockcrusher dealer so they've purchased them from a 3rd party and as you might have guessed they're selling them below rockcrusher's minimum retail price so they're pissed off and have filed some sort of legal action against mad4wd.

I hope they ship end of the month/first month of september as they promissed, but I have a suspiscion I may be asking for my money back..........

[jeepsr4ever]

Yes they have a version of the high pinion high clearance diff. Those prices are very cheap! I know a couple of distributors that are bummed they just did some sort of buy in only to have their throats cut on the deal (or so I have heard)

[FastActon]

I just ordered a couple of these, hopefully they'll be able to follow through with the deal.

[Kwikrat]

I would love to pick one of these up for my D44 front end, but I thought I remembered someone mention that the vacuum disco front end uses a different cover. Am I remembering this correctly?

[david13]

thanks for the link i will order mine as soon as i get my bumpers:fsj: built

Yup these covers will do you no good.

[KYJ10]

I thought you had the BTF ones?

[J10-401]

"vacuum disco front end uses a different cover"

Does anyone make a better cover for the vacuum-Dana-44? Aluminum, stainless or whatever? Otherwise, I'll Just plate mine in nickle or maybe powdercoat it silver/gray. Gotta keep up with the mall-cruisers in their H3s LOL.

[rockjeep44]

I thought you had the BTF ones?

Nope, just a stocker in the front which is what will be replaced by this Rockcrusher cover. In the rear I got a sweet rock ring with ring gear guard I picked up off of ebay years ago for cheap. It has served me well.

[McRoth]

Just saw this update on their website for all of us waiting on our new diff covers!!

The first shipment is completely SOLD OUT, the second is set to arrive sometime in October. They would have been on time if the 'other' guys would not have tried to to get the shipment held up via the Australian court system. They tried (and lost!) to stop us but rest assured they are on the way! Please do not email us constantly for updates, if you need to change your order please call us. Thanks for your patience.

[Robber80]

I'd like to order these, but i doesn't look like someone has actually recieved one yet. Has anyone actually got one after they ordered? That is such a awsome price, i think i should order anyway.

[rockjeep44]

Yea, tons of people on pirate have recieved theirs from the first shipment. Everyone seems to think the covers are sweet.

PS. I got your msg, but forgot to drop you a line back.

[bowtieman55]

so did yall get the covers you ordered?

[Crazy_Jeepman]

I got this from them a while ago..............then I ran into a credit card problem so now I am not sure what is going to happen with my order. :( Note to self: Do not LOSE YOUR CREDIT CARD!! :banghead:

Haven't recieved it yet, but they just posted this on their site:

UPDATE ON 11-15-06 !!!!!
We just received word from our customs broker that the parts are in the USA and we are waiting for them to arrive at Mad4wd. They told us that it would take 1 week for them to show up. Thanks for your patience and support of the 'original' US and Australian TRADE MARKED Aussie manufactured parts.....ask where the 'other' company's parts are manufactured ????


Hopefully they'll be shipping this week or early next week!

[rockjeep44]

My stock cover can't hold out much longer!

[Crazy_Jeepman]

Well they called me this morning, to gather my new CC info due to the loss of my old one. They gave me an ETA date of Dec 5th. :dancingbanana:

[Jan]

Hi Guys ! Would this fit on an 87 GW, front end? The different shape diffcover with vacuum disconnect is only 83 and 84, AFAIK?

Thanks

Jan

Yes they would fit the Front and Rear on your 87

[Jan]

Thanks a lot!

Has anybody experience with the diffcovers BJ is offering? Are the rockcrushers much better (or maybe worse) than these? They seem to be some kind of a legend. Sorry if the question is dumb, I am new to this. I would guess that the bolt holes in the axle will break at some point, so a diffcover does only need to hold up to this impact :banghead:.

Or what do you guys say?

Cheers

Jan

[McRoth]

Anyone get theirs yet or get confirmation on it being charged or shipped? Crazy Jeepman had them call back on Nov. 24th, but my card hasn't been charged or anything yet.

[rockjeep44]

Nothing yet

[FSJeep80]

I just got an e mail from Alex at Mad4WD that said the covers have shipped and they`re expecting to get them this Thursday and that orders would start shipping after that. Tomorrow will be 4 months for me but for the price the wait should be well worth it I guess. FSJeep80

[oldcj5guy]

These are a little more expensive, but definitely good quality:

http://www.rokmen.com/products/differential_protection/riddler_diff_covers/riddler_diff_covers.html

Riddler was formed when the original guys at Crane split apart. The guy running riddler was the guy doing most of the work at crane, and after one too many arguments with chris crane decided to start his own gig.
Besides the vendor is local to me and has always bent over backwards to help out.

[orangecherokee]

Right! :mad:

[Crazy_Jeepman]

They don't charge your card till the product ships.

Glad to hear they are finally shipping the 60 covers.

[Bama Burden]

Saw this on the CAOS forum:
http://www.northridge4x4.com/proddetail.php?prod=RC-DIFFCOVERS
Not quite as cheap as MAD4WD but apparently in stock.

[McRoth]

They just posted on their site that they're in & shipping now!! Hopefully I'll get my 44 & 60 next week!

[armyfsj]

so will this thing fit an 84 w/ the 44 front?:confused:

[Crazy_Jeepman]

so will this thing fit an 84 w/ the 44 front?:confused:

Probally not, since you most likely have the Vac operated front axle. If you have the button to pull down before you can flip the switch from 2 WD to 4 WD then these covers will not work...............stuck with the stock one ;)

[armyfsj]

that sucks good price though thanks

[Crazy_Jeepman]

Grant from Mad Four Wheel Drive just called me......... LOL I swear it was Crocidile Dundee talking :bluelaugh: Super nice guy to talk with, and he cut the shipping on my order since I will have to wait for quite awile yet on the Corp 14 Bolt Cover. However the Dana 60 cover is shipping out in the morning. He said all D60 cover orders will be shipping out over the next few days. Sorry I didn't think to ask about D44 covers...............I figured it was a lot of Cover for a 44 so :whistle: whats the point :p

[McRoth]

I'm guessing the 44 covers are in too, they finally charged my card for my D44 & D60 covers. Hopefully they'll be here in the next day or two!!

You are going to have to Truss that 44 now to support the Diff Cover! :lol:

[rockjeep44]

I got a shipment notification this morning on my 60 cover

[Crazy_Jeepman]

Yup...........Mine is on its way as well!!! FINALLY! Now for the other one :whistle:

[orangecherokee]

i'll be honest. i want this thread to die. :hide:

[McRoth]

Got mine yesterday!! They look great. I should be able to get the D60 on this weekend, the D44'll have to wait till I get tires back under the Wag.

Sorry, orangecherokee :)

[Kaiser]

Good to hear. Thanks for the hook-up! With such a schweet deal I had to get covered F/R.

[rockjeep44]

These covers are worth every penny despite the wait!

[AdamG]

Got one for my 44 from a club member today. Awesome product, I think I may try to cook in it...
Now to install the thing.

[crazydog]

I wished I had waited to get mine, but how was I to know that a great deal like this would come up. I have the front and rear Dana 44 covers. I suggest you ditch the bolts that came with covers and get some allen head bolts. I could not get a socket on the six point bolts to torque to spec. The allen head bolts are the way to go in my opinion. I need to get some pictures, but I painted my covers black and went over the letters with red model enamel. Looks real good.

[FSJeep80]

I finally got my Dana 44 front cover last week. Pretty stout cover,dunno if I`d pay full price for one though (cheapskate that I am :rolleyes: ). Just have to paint it and put it on now. FSJeep80

[BRUTUS]

i'll be honest. i want this thread to die.

[FastActon]

I got my 44 cover last week too. The one thing I noticed about it is how much higher the fill plug hole is. If you fill it up to the level of this plug, do you think your seals would fail any quicker?

[Kaiser]

Got mine today (along with some other goodies) and gotta say...
These are STOUT!

[orangecherokee]

ALRIGHT!!!! Take a look Pete. We're forming an army. Bring forth the lock!
