Ya i have ordered from dave before. He is a great guy . I have definitely picked his brain quite a few times. The only things i'm not ordering from him are my front bumper and my winch. Quadratec gets them because they are smittybuilt. Yes i know i have heard sh*ttybuilt before but i have heard great things about their xrc8 winch and their xrc bumper.

There are 12 bolts total, and the 4 along the bottom may not line up quite right with the 2-door. But just with the 8 bolts, that thing is solid! I just left the bottom 4 bolts out and it is good to go.

My Riddlers, like the Poison Spyders, are great. You get to paint them as you like. They also can take backing into rocks on the trail. I know the stock covers would have leaked on me with my crappy driving. Sorry I don't have a picture of my front cover, but it is a Dana 30 cover and it is a different shape than the 44 cover. Also if you are looking at budget, then just get the rear. Most people don't hit the front diff cover too often.

The tie rod gets bent more often than the front diff cover gets hit. That is because the tires normally lift the jeep up before the rock hits the cover, but since the tie rod is out in front it gets hit and bent a lot. Granted it is still possible to get a really crappy spotter the helps destroy you front diff cover.
