There is on available on therangerstation.com. It may not fit an explorer due to the sway bar, but it is worth a look.

thnat TRS cover is HUGE
Looks like a ground clearance robber to me, not to mention its FUGLY

But thats just my opinion.

there are about 50 aftermarket rock guards, full covers, and girdles to choose from for the 8.8

Just one more to choose from. It has extra capacity for fluid.

i like CRANE covers....they are very pricey however at about $200. Im leaning towards either the BTF cover, or the Purple Cranium full cover.

thre Crane covers are sick, I hate he lime green paint though...

 

[slravene]

you can get them in bare metal i believe. I am pretty sure I'll be getting the BTF cover as its great product at an OK price.

 

[410Fortune]

ditto, I tried to give my buddy who owns a local 4x shop to give me one of those Crane covers just because I am a good customer, he didn't go for it....go figure! He did offer me a discount though! Only $190! OUCH!

BTF is looking good, but then since I installed an ARB so is the Summit SVO style cover with the supports built it....

 

[slravene]

yea, i like those SVOs too. the Cranes are rediculously beefy though. Im helping a friend build a Discovery Truggy and he bought one for his D60 and one for his D70....they are rediculous. Together the box was heavy enough to crack the shop floor when he dropped it. (ooops )

This is what I've been running for years. It provides extra strength to your housing and also keeps your bearing caps from distorting under load.

This company makes the diff covers for Ford SVO and others who use the same cover with a different name embossed.

I've still got an SVO cover just sitting here for you.

 

[410Fortune]

Yup I'm a moron, PM sent. But that info is good for the rest of you!

 

[slravene]

did you already order that one off the site?

 

[410Fortune]

No I did not just called to check pricing and availability. All my extra $$$ right now is tied up in my Exploder project, my new seats and a Playoff Football game here on Sat (beer & parking)
