The curved 0.375 inch steel ring around the bottom of the ring gear is bump bent on the press brake to provide a smooth surface to slide over obstacles like rock and mud.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe side caps over the carrier bolts are laser cut and CNC formed from 0.25 inch steel plate. The main ring that welds to the housing is laser cut from 0.375 inch steel plate. The cover ships welded inside and out to your door bare steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstalling the diff skid is straight forward. Remove the center diff from the Rockwell housing and then cut the bottom rounded dome off. Position the diff back in and rotate the axle so you can see where to place the diff cover \/ skid. Tack in place and then remove the 3rd member from the housing. Weld completely. The ring gear does not need to be machined down for the cover to fit onto the Rockwell 2.5 ton axle housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Motobilt Rockwell 2.5 Ton Axle Diff Cover \/ Skid does not include a drain plug. Our thought is this is a failure point when rock crawling. We do offer an optional bung and plug that the installercan drill out the cover and install if needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMotobilt fabricates all of our products including fabricated diff covers in house utilizing our 10k fiber laser and CNC press brakes.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cover is laser cut and formed from a combination of 3\/8 inch and 1\/4 inch high strength steel plate. The curved 3\/8 inch steel ring around the bottom of the ring gear is bump bent on the press brake to provide a smooth surface to slide over obstacles like rock and mud. The side caps over the carrier bolts are laser cut and CNC formed from 1\/4 inch steel plate. The main ring that welds to the housing is laser cut from 3\/8 inchsteel plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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\n\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll Motobilt Diff Covers include a Lifetime Warrranty from trail damage and manufacture defect.
