The Riddler or the poison spiders are the same. I went with the PS because the spider looks cooler than the “R”. They are really thick and smooth, nothing to get hung up on

I picked up the G2's because they came with the G2 gear kit. Haven't put them on yet. Well see. They are aluminum but appear to be solid. I also like the drain plug as well.

Here's what i found doing my research
This is someone that had a Riddler on their JK.
I quote "thats Royal purple flowing out the bottom, all the bolts but 2 sheared off, and the bottom of the cover bent out of shape! "
Yes, Riddler has a lifetime warranty....but what does Tommy Boy say about that?
Tommy: Let's think about this for a sec, Ted. Why would somebody put a guarantee on a box? Hmmm, very interesting.
Ted Nelson, Customer: Go on, I'm listening.
Tommy: Here's the way I see it, Ted. Guy puts a fancy guarantee on a box 'cause he wants you to feel all warm and toasty inside.
Ted Nelson, Customer: Yeah, makes a man feel good.
Tommy: 'Course it does. Why shouldn't it? Ya figure you put that little box under your pillow at night, the Guarantee Fairy might come by and leave a quarter, am I right, Ted?
[chuckles until he sees that Ted is not laughing]
Ted Nelson, Customer: [impatiently] What's your point?
Tommy: The point is, how do you know the fairy isn't a crazy glue sniffer? "Building model airplanes" says the little fairy; well, we're not buying it. He sneaks into your house once, that's all it takes. The next thing you know, there's money missing off the dresser, and your daughter's knocked up. I seen it a hundred times.
Ted Nelson, Customer: But why do they put a guarantee on the box?
Tommy: Because they know all they sold ya was a guaranteed piece of shit. That's all it is, isn't it? Hey, if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed, I will. I got spare time. But for now, for your customer's sake, for your daughter's sake, ya might wanna think about buying a quality product from me.
I am not knocking the product as I have never used it......but I guess it's something to think about.

lots of clearance with my ARB diffs. I'm using the front JKS trac bar and JKS trac bar bracket. I had to jack up the rear end to get the rear trac bar outta the way so I could install two longer bolts but that only added a few minutes to the install process.

So I sat down with the wifey to explain that the dealer is going to fix my leaking diff's and it only made sense to replace the covers at the same time......I was fully expecting push back.
She asked how much?? I told her and she responded.......OK no problem!
she thought it was going to be more
Ordering new diff covers today......will be calling Northridge.

When I had my jeep in to have new tires, brakes, rotors, etc they said they couldn't do anything except replace it with stock parts even if I paid extra.
