So I'm looking for recommendations on rear dif cover upgrades or rear dif cages. Wanted to go with the RRO but unfortunately their wait is a bit longer than I want. So I'm open to suggestions

running a SOLID rear diff cover. the only pro i can think of is that it holds more oil- and it was on sale when i was in Seattle- cause i dont live in the USA. between you and me- i dont really need it, I cant remember ever backing up into a rock. if i had to buy a new one i would buy one with a drain plug.

Yeah it's kinda over **** with thecover I went with but I trail my jeep alot and I'm usually careful with picking lines ect. But some of the hard trails out here have alot of big rocks and small boulders ,just gonna give me piece of mind ,especially now that I'm installing the locker

I have the ARB diff cover, the overall quality is nice, but the best feature really is the drain plug for easy service.

I have a Riddler 8.25 cast iron diff cover. It is bulletproof. No drain though.
It's a good idea to remove the cover to inspect gears & interior magnet for shavings or particulate matter.

Trac-Loc rear differentials / limited slips, do require a 4 ounce bottle Mopar limited slip additive.
Use DINO Gear oil, not synthetics.
