Rear Differential Cover?
Does anyone know where to find chrome or aluminum rear diff covers? I've looked and can't seem to find them. My factory one is looking beat down with the paint flaking off and rust.

the April issue of Petersons off road, did a review of all the diff covers out there and ranked and rated them, good article to check out.......You also know you can repaint your stockers, thats what 99% of us have done.

Yep, the Molten Image Design one was the strongest but also the most expensive I think. Rottn said they go for around $500.
Also, the Dynatrac and Tera covers held up well and didn't break.
If strength is what you want pick one of the above.
If you want better heat dissapation a finned aluminum cover is the way to go.
Not sure how many of us are going to try and crush our diff covers with a bull dozer as they did in the article though.

They are very heavy duty and have a magnetic drain plug.
I will be putting on their diff covers and tranny oil pan in the near future.

A lot of people don't like them because they want a polished aluminum finish for looks

I all ways go for the more functional products. The polished covers are pretty but not useful, IMHO.
Edit: You could have the mag hy-tech covers polished, then you would have pretty and functional!

Moltenimage has some kewl design's.....espeacially since they have my design.....my friends nicknamed my truck Godzilla when I got it....hence Godzilla250v10.....But anyway I contacted them and asked if they could make a godzilla diff cover....I sent them a sketch and they went ahead and made one up and showed it at SEMA.....However they want to charge me over $800 bucks for the cover....I am not spending 800 on a piece of metal as of now when I don't have my lift done and all my other important things in my opinion.....they are nice guys....just won't be gettin my money......

I might ask Ryan, over at Superduty Headquarters http://www.superdutyheadquarters.com/. He's a distributor of them. At least that what it said on their web-site (clear gears) when I was lookin at em last week. Could ya kinda let me know cause I was gonna ask him too. Just want to get this lift thing outa the way first.
I thought he did your lift too?

Yah! He did my lift and took 3+ months to send me my driveshaft UN-modified which was supposed to be in the whole deal. I wont deal with him anymore. I am afraid that if i order a cleargearz cover i might not see it for 1-3 months later so i will take my business elsewhere.
