reads90 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 mmm very bling bling. ARB lauched them last week here in Aus. Here is the press relise from ARB 8th May 2007 ARB Differential Covers When off road, it is inevitable that obstacles and debris will be encountered that could potentially damage your differential. To help prevent this, the new ARB Differential Cover has been engineered from high tensile nodular iron to protect both the differential and ring & pinion set from any off road hazards. The computer optimised cross brace design increases the structural rigidity of the whole axle. This additional strength reduces housing flex which helps keep the ring & pinion gears aligned in perfect mesh (full tooth surface contact). This effectively increases ring & pinion life and overall maximum torque load. Reduced housing flex also means better carrier bearing alignment, which will greatly prolong the life of the bearings. The combination of the high filler point and dipstick design also allows the differential oil level to be adjusted higher to compensate for customised high driveline angles. Supplied with high tensile cap screws that are recessed into the cover for protection against obstacles that might damage or loosen them, the Differential Cover’s drain plug has also been designed with a low profile to resist damage. All ARB Differential Covers come equipped with drain plugs, even for applications like Dana Spicer models that never actually came with a drain plug of their own. One of the major features of the ARB Differential Cover is the top quality, high power neodymium magnets in both the drain plug and dipstick. These collect metallic wear particles from your oil as the vehicle moves. Removing the dipstick allows an easy infield check for water contamination (foam on the dipstick) or the tell-tale signs of internal damage (any larger particles which will also collect on the magnet), all without having to drain any oil. To complete the design, all covers are finished in a red powder coat, CNC machined, and finally clear coated for a durable, professional, long lasting finish. ARB’s Differential Cover is perfect for both competition and 4WDing use where harsh off road work is to be encountered. Our engineering team is currently involved in developing a range of covers to suit Dana 30, 35, 44 and 60 differentials, catering for vehicles including the Ford F250, Land Rover Defender, Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Cherokee XJ.

David Sparkes Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Without wishing to wake the Troll, I'd suggest an Orange level price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 A few zero's on the wrong side of the decimal point then David Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top90 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Without wishing to wake the Troll, I'd suggest an Orange level price. Too late..... Les has woken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Without wishing to wake the Troll, I'd suggest an Orange level price. Superb David PMSL Nige PS SO ALi are you going to now do a Rear Axle to Salisbury conversion just so you can have one AY ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reads90 Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 For Salisburies only then? Nah they recon they are for the front not the rear(after all the front is more likly to hit a rock that the back ). So will be interesting how they are going to do it for the defender The pic is not one for a defender but i think it is one for a ford F250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reads90 Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 but what kind of price are we looking at? Well they say they are going to be A$180 each for the defender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ1 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 might look into this as i need to change the covers anyway. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Well they say they are going to be A$180 each for the defender Cheaper than a Rockcrusher one, if that price is correct, but I reckon the Rockcrusher one looks cooler, and being unpainted you can shave it without stuffing up the finish.

dirtydiesel Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Yawn. Old hat crane high clearance have been doing then for years. Looks like arb are following in SR's footsteps, copying someone elses inovation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
