Poison Spyder Bombshell Diff Covers

[JeepLab]

I could watch those diff covers get hit with hammers all day.

the most eye opening thing about that video is that the stock diff cover held up so well.

Makes you think twice before dumping 200 bucks on diff covers.

Has anyone out there damaged the stock diff covers to a point that they were stranded on the trail?

This is a good question, We have never seen damaged diff covers ending someone's day offroad.

and this video made us feel the same about the stock diff cover. Sweet Pea, our magnuson SC truck still has stock diff covers installed. And we will wheel her like that.

Here's the aftermath.

the Poison Spyder, was fit to install. And was installed later. The stock dif cover was not so lucky.

Although, the stock dif cover did hold up FAR better than expected. We hit them a lot with the sledge hammer.

Keep in mind that the sledge hammer is pretty blunt, dropping the front half of a 4000lb JK onto a pointy piece of rock may have catastrophic results on that stamped steel. By the way, we need more tests like this. Does anyone have something I can smash?
