I ran those Solid diff covers for a long time. Things are bullet proof
Yes they are, and they were a local company for me in Ohio! Been running the rear for the last 3 years and have smashed the piss out of the poor thing and only had to hit it with a lil rattle can. Was given an aluminum G2 cover for the front for free and completely obliterated it 😅. Decided to match the rear.

After grenading another rear ring and pinion and finally breaking a front axle shaft, I made the swap to tons.

Took a hot minute to get her back on the road between starting the week before I moved from AL to NY, then finishing it in a single car garage on weekends in NY. She is back on the road now, still some things to finish before she is trail ready. Need to build a new skid plate for her, I have new hydro bumps that need to be welded on, and I plan to throw a antirock on the rear.

And the Jeep is all back together again with the rear flares reinstalled. Also got a fresh set of lower balljoints and a new Solid Industries differential cover.

That tire carrier looks pretty solid! I'll show that to my uncle for his new JKU project. We're about to finish the wheels and brake job tomorrow and then the rack, jeep accessories, lighting, and tire carrier will be next.
