Motobilt DIY Diff Covers are the same as our fully-welded diff covers, but sold as a kit including the pre-formed pieces and hardware you will need to complete the DIY project yourself. We have included assembly instructions as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhy change out your diff cover? We do get asked this question on occasion. The factory diff covers are too thin for abuse on the trail. One of the common factory diff cover failures occurs when the edge gets peeled up from a rock sliding across the diff. Peeling can cause the differential fluid to leak out unknowingly and the result could be damaging the gears when you hit the road to drive home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnother failure of factory diff covers are from bending the cover into the ring gear which rubs a hole through. The result here is the same with differential fluid leaking out. One other failure is actually puncturing the factory diff cover with a sharp rock. Again resulting in differential fluid leaking out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHopefully this explains the need for a heavy duty diff cover. The Motobilt Heavy Duty Fabricated Diff Covers address the failures I have mentioned to ensure your ring and pinion gear sets are well protected.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll Motobilt Diff Covers include a Lifetime Warrranty from trail damage and manufacture defect. We cannot warranty DIY Diff Covers being welded incorrectly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs with all Motobilt DIY builder parts, an experienced welder is recommended.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation Note:\u003c\/strong\u003eWe strongly recommend tacking the pieces together and test fitting it onto the axle before finish welding. We also recommend using pipe thread tape for the fill plug.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDIY Diff Cover Kit Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch thick steel plate shell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch thick steel diff ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn-house laser and CNC press brake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold as kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll parts are shipped bare metal and will need to be painted before install\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifetime Warrranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDIY Diff Cover Kit includes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaser-cut 3\/8 inch Ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCNC-formed 1\/4 inch thick shell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOil fill weld-in bung and oil fill plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs Motobilt's number one dealer, JeepHut is proud to offer such and amazing line up of parts for your Jeep and offroad vehicle.
