It looks pretty sweet. Now if only it came in blue..... Lol I'll probably just paint it with a rubber undercoating like I will be the rest of the undercarraige

I've got the Ruffstuff - with drain plug. Been on about 3 years and fine so far. Takes nearly an extra litre of oil.

The crane and riddler diff covers look exactly alike. I'm guessing the chromoly steel is a far stronger and superior product then the ductile iron?

the crane is stronger but either are stronger then stamped steel from stock.

Crane also was nice enough to provide input into modeling aspect of this article http://www.pirate4x4.com/tech/billavista/PR-BV60/index4.html

Again its all dana 60 stuff as per usual and less applicable for this app but for similar dollars on a cover, they would get my money.

At the bottom of that page they also review the D60 diff cover. Bit on customer service is nice too.

The Solid cover looks really durable and is half the price of the riddler and 1/3 of the crane. Hmmm decisions decisions..
