Clear gearz

Has anyone used one of these? They look kinda cool, but it would be nice just to be able to check your diff. oil just by looking really quick.

This must be a generational thing. My old school thought is I would rather have a nice strong metal cover.
More power to you.

here is the link http://www.cleargearz.com/ I have to agree with kwik on this, but the functionality of it would be nice, it doesnt say if they hold extra oil though.

one thing to think about is i don't think plastic is as good of a thermal conductor as metal therefore the cooling may be less with a plastic cover but i don't really know

I read a diff cover shootout in one of the off road magazines a while back. If memory serves the cleargearz help up very well aganst the traditional steel and aluminum covers.
