Yeah, you should totally check out this thread, Matt: http://wayalife.com/showthread.php?1481-Suds-of-the-Day

You getting snow down there yet?

 

[Rancho]

I have lurked in there and eyeballed some legit beers.
Someone (not me!!!) should set up a beer exchange for the holidays.
A yep on the snow, pretty decent coming off yesterday's 80's.
I took off the big tires (they are heavy) and put on 37's just in time.

Yeah when it comes to the knuckles it comes down to cost and getting into a foundry. Where even a relatively "big" run/investment from our end, isn't that "big" to a lot of foundries here.
And yes our glide skid is made here.
They work, you lose a little clearance, but they work.

Do you know how much clearance you lose on a rear JK Dana 44?



RANCHO;

CAN YOU ACCESS THE DRAIN PLUG OR DO YOU HAVE TO TAKE OFF THE SKID PLATE?

 

[Rancho]

Honestly never measured it. It is there but minimal.

I'm guessing Newcastle or Wollongong foundry?

I honestly don't know on this.
All I know is that a couple of my guys went to visit you folks and Indonesia a year or so ago.
We knew we had to do our shocks a bit different down there.

Matt, do you have a differential cover around you could snap some photos of?

Wonderful. I have an Anvil Jeep, and really like your red covers. The front one looks pretty rough, after I drug it all over Hidden Falls, in Texas on the stock tires. I don't care what kind of line you pick, on aired down 31 inchers, or whatever they are, you'll drag your differential.

I'm interested in possibly adding the D30/44 covers. In all the pictures I've seen online, I only notice the fill hole. Where is the drain? Also, is there any kind of indicator to help identify when the diff is full while servicing it? I have read here on WAL of the DIY dipstick trick. Just wondering... Thanks!

Now I see it!!! LOL Admittedly, I probably didn't look at every photo out there. The ones I did see weren't as obvious as the one you posted. Thanks!

The drain is on the axle. That doesn't change with a new diff cover.

Here's the product page.

http://www.gorancho.com/products/ro...ar-differential-cover-dana-44-red-rs6209.html

The top hole is for filling and the differential is full when fluid comes out of the lower hole. As far as drain hole, nearly no covers have one.

Damn, of course. Thanks :clap2:

I clearly took some dumbass question pills today. :crazyeyes:

I will get the 60 images tomorrow. They will be a similar design to the 30/44.
No indicator, I go off our instruction sheet, then a pinch more, then it spills out. :naw:
I like the DIY route, I think I missed that thread.
