Poison Spyder42-11-044 Dana 44 Bombshell Diff Cover

I will admit that I am a fan of Poison Spider products. So I decided to try the Bombshell Diff covers as the last time I went off-roading .. I ended up cracking the bottom of the stock rear diff cover.Pros:- Heavy Duty- Think Casing- SolidCons:- Not cheap but not the most expensive eitherSo I read a lot of reviews on these covers for my Dana 44 differentials. I decided that since I like that brand anyways, I would give them a try as opposed to the ARB covers I usually install. Firstly, these covers are roughly half the price of the ARB covers. I did do some impact testing on the Poison Spider and Stock differential covers.Various tools from hammers to mallets to sledges. I have to say that I was actually impressed with the stock covers ability to take damage. However, it was obvious damage and dents. With enough off-roading and strikes to the cover ... I can see how it could start to interfere with the internal parts. The Poison Spider cover took all the same punishment without hardly a mar or blemish to the cover. Extremely impressed with the cover. Another feature about the cover that I like is that it is slightly smaller than the casing. Which helps to protect the cover from peeling or taking direct strike damage to the joint surface. The installation was simple enough and took me about 1 1/2 hours. Actual work time 30 minutes. But I wanted to ensure that all of the brake cleaner had evaporated that I was unable to towel out. I did decide to use Lube Lockers with this cover, which made the job so much easier. I also decided not to get the black powder coated cover .. as to me it just didn't fit my Jeep style. I did however, incorporate the Rock Red color into the raised spider on the cover .. which I like much better.I read several reviews about the bolts failing. My installation was flawless and I was able to torque my down without any issue. I have not had a chance to test out this cover yet but plan to in the next week. My hopes are high that these will stand up to the same punishment that I have experienced with the ARB covers. I really like the style and look of this cover. Extremely happy with this purchase so far.

Extremely paintable adds a great look and durability to your ride.

Awesome product and beefy as hell

Nice thick cover, easy install. Look even better if you paint them!

Best price we found...Heavy duty.... taped off and painted the raised spider details.....

Cover is great, heavy dutyThe thing that gets my goat is the bolts are not grade 8 thay are marked on the head but chine crap that snapped off with a 3/8” ratchet before I Evan got to the tork wrench. Just use real grade 8 or don’t send bolts! Once I put on my glasses I could see they are crap. Great product in the cover but half crappy review because of the bolts. Cover held up great I have smashed it on rocks it is fine and no leaks.

Excellent quality and has everything to install.

Great product. Love these covers, easy to paint
