Reviews: ARB Differential Covers

This is a great addition to my truck and I am very impressed with the quality of the product. It is far beyond better than the OEM jeep.

Great price for a great cover! ARB covers gave me everything I wanted: strength, drain plug and fill plug with dipstick. It also looks great and goes with my color scheme! I installed 2 front and rear in the fall of 2008 and have bounced off of rocks without damage. They pay for themselves each time you drain and fill the diff oil after a water excursion...no need to remove the cover and buy/replace gaskets or gasket maker(though I recommend removing on occasion to inspect diff internals.) Make sure you make the dipstick for proper oil level prior to installation as ARB recommends.

The top fill with dip stick feature is perfect. When accommodating 12" of lift on a Wrangler, you kind of need to rotate the rear end up. All while you still maintain proper fluid levels. This is the only differential cover I could find that allows that.

Purchased this product to protect my dana 44 front and rear diffs. I use my Rubicon 05 TJ for daily driving and every chance I get to rock crawl off-road. I love the rugged styling of this product. The overall look is impressive to me. Great addition to my Jeep's over all look. I can't find anything bad about this product.

Love the drain and refill location!

Great product, although I'm never suprised with the quality from ARB. Really compliments my locker. Love this product!

I chose to buy the ARB differential covers because they have both drain AND fill plugs. The fill plug has a built in dipstick that allows you to check lube oil level AND check for any water that might have entered the axles during a deep water crossing. Because the covers have both plugs, you can easily change gear lube WITHOUT the pain (and mess)of removing the covers and resealing them. The cover is so well designed that both the dipstick and drain plug have STRONG magnets to trap metal particles. If that is not enough,the precision machining and beautiful red paint make me even more pleased to have chosen them.

Great diff cover, installed on dana 44 axles both rear and front. Super strong and and adds strength to the diff housing. For rock crawling the last thing you want is to slip off the rock and hit your housing and crack it. Has magnet attached to drain plug to gather metal as you grind the gears. Installed on 2006 rubicon unlimited, rubicon express super flex 3.5 lift w/ monotube gas shocks, jks adjustable upper control arms and track bars, ome steering damper, daystar 1" body lift, spider trax wheel spacers, 315/75R16 goodyear mtr w/kevlar tires, Body Armor front and rear bumber with rock rails, warn 9000i winch, Borla cat back exhaust, AEM brute force air induction. After researching these are the only diff covers I would purchase. Yes they are red, and for a reason. It is easier for your spotter to align you on the rocks to guide you.

Very good looking easy to check fluid and also has a magnetic dipstick,looks really good when the jeep is lifted makes it more noticeable

Fits perfect on my 2022 Frontier Pro4x and it looks amazing. A bracket mod was needed but nothing too complicated. Install was quick with 4WP’s. It took about an hour for the install.

We all know ARB is going to hook up and outlast. I believe them when they say that this will enhance the structural rigidity of your Dana 44. It's tough to add to the credibility in a meaningful way when you're talking about armor that you haven't bashed on anything yet. All I know is that I'm going to pick the best lines I can, NOT lining up rocks over my right shoulder. And for the one I can't see. Like when I'm under water. Well, I'm not going to worry too much about that one. I'm going to be more worried about my dog chewing through his harness. That's why I bought this thing.

Really adds to vehicle appearance. Heavy duty and practical to install while allowing a good visual inspection of the drive gears. Powerful magnets give good oil cleaning capability.

Very well built but trying to install them without a lift on Jeep was a challenge. Also with the jeep going thru 1.5 Canadain winters some of the bolts designed to go thru the housing wouldn't go and couldnt find a proper tap to clean out threads so had to cut some shorter. But sealed up nice and very happy with the look and added protection

Awesome product. Looks aggresive and clean. Threw it on A.S.A.P

Feels solid and looks good. No torque specs for new bolts. Read a lot of reviews about people snapping bolts when using factory torque specs. Used a lube locker seal so no experience with RTV sealant with this cover. Also didn’t like the fact that I had to set the level marker for the diff fluid on the dip stick. That should be something that comes from ARB.

Heavy duty definitely compared to OEM. Best need three hands to hold it and gasket up. Added gasket material stopped leak from rock damage that form a gasket failed to. Needed to remove some metal on driver side so it would fit next to springs.

Good solid diff cover. It will take a hard hit. I bought it because of the magnetic dipstick. I like the idea of being able check for water and metal filings in the oil with out tearing the cover off every time I go through water off road. A con is the price compared to other out there. The bolts strip easy so be careful. I followed their torque instructions and striped a head. Also no stickers. For the price I would expect good bolts and a sticker.
