Ive been running rockproof d60 covers, 3/8 and tough. look similiar to BTF, under $100. Sextons covers also look tough.
I think this is the one I might go with.

Ruffstuff has some good prices. I was looking at their stuff a couple days ago.
Just posting up a pic of the Great Lakes Offroad diff cover that was posted earlier...
1/2" thick mounting surface (forgot the technical name), 1/2" thick main construction with a 1/2" strap covering the ring gear, totalling 1" thick over the ring gear... probably the heaviest duty/strongest diff cover for your money.
A while ago a magazine did a "diff cover shootout" and shot diff covers with numerous guns including 50 calibers and a few more powerful guns, none of the guns pierced through the diff cover and so it was deemed "bulletproof"

I run the ruffstuff. I recomend buying the one pre welded instead of the kit. He welds them and machines them flat after welding so no leaks.
Plus the price is good.

That is cool and all, but to have an extra "1 inch" sticking out the front of my 60 just seems silly. Not to mention the clearance issues.
I'm a big fan of "overkill" but....................
you can get them w/out the extra armor.
I called Teraflex yesterday, the $100 deal sounds pretty good... can you weld to those covers? I may need a ram mounted to mine... leaning towards RuffStuff at the moment.

Hey Shawn,
I run the great lakes "regular" covers front and rear. It seems like they were $90 a piece plus shipping, and I haven't screwed them up yet.... 5 years old or so...
Note: what ever cover you get talk to Dusty and sexton to get the super duper gaskets, lube locker or something like that. that is my only gripe is I haven't had to replace my covers anymore but I do have to pull them down every now and then to put more RTV on them. PITA

Sexton and Summit sell the LubeLockers.. pretty good gasket, I think they're reusable? Much better idea.

Thanks Guys!
Its nice to read about how people like your products...BTW, the Great lakes are 1/4" thick and the Balistic are 3/8" like ours, the BTF are also 1/4". We have been making these for nearly 5 years now...

Good stuff. We'll likely be placing an order in the next few weeks. (should have bought a few things in the past few weeks---would have saved me some time/fab/fuel)
