Pair this diff cover with our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/offroadtradingco.com\/products\/bronco-rear-diff-skid\"\u003eBronco Rear Diff Skid\u003c\/a\u003e for the best combined differential protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are heavy duty differential covers ready for the new Bronco, and whatever the trail can throw at it! Upgrading to heavy duty covers is a must for \"heavy users\" or anyone looking to protect their axles while playing near rocks. We pride ourselves on these because of the (not so) minor detail of machining the mating surface flat unlike many of the other fabricated covers we've seen out there. Good hot welds will leave covers like these warped unless machined post-welding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are CAD designed using 3D models and precise 3D Scans for a fantastic fit, and to maximize clearance to the trackbar and suspension. These are constructed from a 3\/8\" steel laser cut flange, and 1\/4\" steel laser cut and CNC formed body. These are beautifully hand welded inside and outside for the utmost strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are decked flat\/drilled in one of our in-house CNC mills \u003cstrong\u003e*after welding*\u003c\/strong\u003e. This ensures that the mating surface is flat, and the bolt pattern is a precise match, regardless of any heating\/cooling\/\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003ewarping\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e that would be the result of the welding process. Because of this, RTV sealant is optional, and a factory style re-usable gasket can still be used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardware kit and fill plug are included. Made with pride in the USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis differential cover can be used standalone but is also designed to work with our Bronco Rear Diff Skid (coming soon!) for even more coverage to the pinion and to provide your axle with a smooth surface to slide over rocks\/obstacles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe offer these in bare metal, black zinc plating, textured black powder coat, and a smooth red powder coat option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have all heard this conversation on the trail: \u003cbr\u003eDriver:\"What am I stuck on?\" \u003cbr\u003eSpotter: \"A rock!\" \u003cbr\u003eDriver: \"No, what part of the rig?!\" \u003cbr\u003eOftentimes, the answer to that question is the lowest hanging part of your 4x4 - your differential. The factory covers do a great job of keeping fluid inside where it belongs, and dirt\/debris outside. Where they don't always excel is rock crawling... where a factory cover flange can be peeled away from the cover and break the seal. Not only is cleaning that gear oil up off the trail time-consuming, the damage done to your ring and pinion or bearings due to lack of lubrication can ruin your day too!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat is the torque spec for the included M8 class 8.8 bolts?\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt is 18 ft lbs as measured on a torque wrench.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDo I need to use the factory gasket? \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYes.
