Ok so I'm ordering front and rear diff covers with the lube locker gaskets. Question for people with expierence with these.
1. Are the lube lockers that great? Will I like?
2. Front locker is going to be ordered in three weeks. I can just pull off diff cover and install locker and reinstall diff cover without having to get a new lube locker right?
Any questions, concerns, or comments would be great.
By the way, front locker is going to be an Aussie locker. I'm a rock crawler with hard core trail riding. Barley any mud if any.

Here is a thread I started recently that may be useful:

Riddlers and LubeLockers

the Lube Lockers are very nice if you believe you will be doing work on the Diff's in the future (taking the covers on and off) I do not believe the Riddlers have a good drain system, so yes you may have them on and off a few times, otherwise....RTV will work just fine...

Bottom line is they are a luxury, not a necessity

Love my lubelockers. I've been running them for 3+ years. Diffs are changed regularly and I've never had a leak.

What do you mean "drain system" the drain is built into the axle housing on the JK. The factory diff covers don't even have (nor do they need) their own drain plugs.

I like my Riddlers and lube lockers. I haven't had them off yet since the install, but they are supposed to be "reuseable."

Just upgrade to grade 8 bolts and go at least 5 ft lbs less torque than the lube locker spec.

I love mine. Never had a problem with them. Some people had issues with the bolts, but I was able to torque mine down without any problems.

Just installed these couple weeks ago. No issues except for one of the bolts breaking. Seems like a common thing from what I've seen on here .
After this past weekend's trail run I know I know the front was hit a time or two and everything held up fine. I'm happy with them.

Thank u for quick responses. I am ordering this week. Lube lockers and diff covers. Going to go ahead and order grade 8 bolts too just to be on safe side. To these diff covers come painted or powdercoated? If not what do u think is better?

Riddlers need to be painted which is cool cause you do what you want. Just make sure you clean/prep first.
