Front Dana 30 Differential Cover Replacement ODC Outlaw
I have about 30K on my 2009 Wrangler X and noticed the OEM differential covers were looking pretty ragged, so I splurged on the Outlaw ODC (aka American Rebel) differential covers.
I bought them bare ($121 each) and painted 'em with RustOleum engine primer/color/clear coat... two coats primer and about four coats orange enamel and clear coat each... baked in the oven at 200 degrees for 30 minutes after every two coats. Perhaps a bit of overkill, but I like how it turned out.
I posted the rear cover on a previous thread...

Here's the front cover, before and after.
Note that there's a small allen screw that's not visible in the picture that's at the same level as the OEM fill plug. The new cover has the higher fill plug, and the smaller allen screw/plug is how you know when to stop filling with gear oil.
