Solid Axle Industries 8.25 Differential Armor

[CzarKJ]

Since I had to change the differential fluids I decided to upgrade the stock one. The solid one is very well... solid! They shipped it very fast and came with stickers and a warranty card. I think it looks and fits great. Easier to take off in the future as well since it is a hex key. It makes the stock one feel like cardboard. One thing that confused me for a second was the location of the fill hole. It is much higher than stock so it is easy to put too much fluid in! Mine might have a little extra this time... Onto the pictures!

Wish I had kept the old cover for side by side comparison but I was quite angry removing the rounded bolt on it.

Overall a great purchase for the price! I will NEVER have to worry about my rear differential being punctured from the back.

P.S. Pardon the rust...

That looks pretty slick! Price seems pretty reasonable as well. Nice!

I like it!

Do you/we really have to worry about running too much fluid? ie can it hurt?

Yes you do have to worry.

In most cases it will just blow out the breather but it can blow out axle seals and the pinion seal also.
