Thick Dana 60 Cover

[Shawn]

So... I need a thick dana 60 diff cover. And was looking to see what others run and like. Typically, I build my own, but I'm really not in the mood. I have looked at the BTF weld it yourself one and like it. Rockcrusher one is ok...

Mine is leaking, so it's time.

Discuss?

Ruffstuff specialites, theirs are 3/8" thick. I dented my 1/4" thick one.

I'm ordering the BTF this week.

I'm pretty happy with the Teraflex covers....you'll be about $100 for a D60 version, I don't know how that compares price-wise to the rest. It's approximatly 3/8" thick, nodular iron.

I picked up a 60 cover when Solid was having their sale for $75 shipped. Can't beat that price for a stout cover!


edit: Well look at that, they're still having their sale. http://www.solidaxle.com/ProductCart/pc/viewCategories.asp?idCategory=7

$17
They are about 3/16" thick?

I've had BTF's on my rig and love them. I hit rocks with them all the time and hear spotters saying 'diff/rock' and I don't care and just plow through. Sometimes it's just a pain to keep backing up to steer clear of the rock.

But that Spicer unit is a pretty good deal for $17. I have them in stock, so if you are curious I can grab one and measure the thickness to be sure. They also have a high fill plug, too....

I have the BTF weld together. Works well for me

my stuff from ballistic has been pretty beefy

I got the old rock crusher ones like the solid ones. I paid 100 shipped for 2 on sale. The old samurai ones were ruff stuff and were awesome, but you paid for it

My brother runs one on his front D60 from GreatLakesOffroad I think... its 1/2" thick plate and it has another 1/2" strip 3" wide strap covering where the ring gear goes, so 1" total thickness there. He has bashed that thing pretty hard with nothing more than a scratch.. and it's pretty good bang for the buck (inexpensive iirc)

Hmmm I will have to come check that out. I need one.

So really, they are all close to the same price and nobody is unhappy with what they have.

Cool.

How thick is this cover?

I have the tera one on my front 60 and the solid one on my 14 bolt.
Love em both. They can really take a beating.
I think I have a used tera one here at the shop if you were interested on that.

I have a BTF weld it your self and really like it!

I'm gonna say it's about 3/8" thick. I'll have to measure when I'm under the Jeep tonight though.

That's ok, don't worry about it!

Thanks!!

I need one of these too, maybe we should try for a group discount.

Whoa.... the online price is $200.00.

I like the BTF ones, but a five piece 1/4" one vs a single piece bent one that is 3/8" seems stronger.

I'm questioning weather I like the modular one better or the bent plate ones.

That SOLID one looks cool, just wonder how well it would handle the abuse I would throw at it.
