I've seen a couple. If the cover gets pinched between a rock and the ring gear the gear will tear a little chunk out of the housing.

Sierras and Range rovers have quite thin housings in this area.

PS Steve F, you imported 54 products into Australia that were actually made here?

Hehe i must be lucky, poor sierra is hammered.

Yep, it was about $8 dearer but quicker to get them from the US (Was Rockcrusher now Solid Axle), I waited 3 months trying to get them from Rockcrusher locally (still called Rockcrusher) but in the end could wait no longer as I had presold them all as it was a group buy. I kept getting told another week but it never was :( shame I would have rather kept the money here.

ARB make a great unit.

bolts are recessed in so they dont get damaged, drain plug ( normal dana diffs dont have this) and even a wanky dip stick for checking fluid levels.

the front


and the back

the ARB one replaces the entire plate cover doesnt it?


heres mine, works a charm, havnt had any problems yet!

I am waiting on one i just ordered from the guys at locktup 4x4.

for the price they charge i wouldnt bother making one.

More then likely stronger and offers more protection then the factory cover

the swaybar isnt conected, its just i left the part on my axle, just incase i decide to re-conect it, ya never know.... it may happen... and its a fairly chunky bit of bar thats abit more protection...


got the claws about 3 weeks ago, running on 16" rims, got tires and rims for $980!!!! only did 2300km when i got em! heaps better than my bald hankooks... they had the steel belt comming thru... thats bad....
