Dana 30 3/8" Differential Cover

The Dana 30 came in a few different trucks but it primarily came in Jeeps, from the Jeepster in the late 60's, through most of the CJ5, CJ6, & CJ7 years, throughout all of the different Wrangler variations (YJ & TJ), Cherokees (XJ), and of course the early Broncos. The Dana 30 axle is actually a pretty good axle for its size if you don't get carried away with too big tires.

Our covers are crafted from A50 plate steel with a 50,000 PSI tensile strength, so this cover is tough, it's a fortress of steel, specifically crafted to handle the intense demands of rock crawling. The 1 piece 3/8" (.375") plate steel cap is bent 8 ways and welded to a 3/8" ring, making it virtually indestructible compared to the 1/4" caps used by our competitors.. And after welding, the mounting surface is machined perfectly flat for an unbeatable fit.

But what does all this mean for you? It means you can tackle any obstacle on the trail with confidence, knowing that your differential is protected by a cover that can handle the the most grueling conditions. Whether you're tackling the Rubicon, or tearing through Johnson Valley, this cover is built to withstand it all.. And with easy installation, this cover is a no-brainer for any serious rock crawler. So don't settle for a weak differential cover - get the one that's up to the challenge!

  • We're so confident in the quality of our products that we offer a LIFETIME GUARANTEE on all of our differential covers.
  • Ring and cover are 3/8" thick
  • Plate steel cover bent 8 ways
  • Machined absolutely flat for a perfect fit
  • All seams fully welded inside and out
  • Bolt kit comes with (5/16) 12 point bolts with washers

One of the questions we get regularly is about the tie rod clearance, it is ~3/4" and it clears all of the D30 axle setups we have encountered.

I just installed mine today and this thing is THICK. I doubt I'd dent this like I did my stocker. As the other poster mentioned, the bolts don't fit well due to the thickness of the plate. I ran to the hardware store while the RTV was setting up and picked up some 5/16"x1"-18 bolts and some washers so I'd have more thread in the case.

I ordered my RuffStuff Dana 30 3/8" Differential Cover back in November and I was very impressed with it when I received it. Beautiful welds and so heavy! The box it came in was about gone. But even UPS/USPS (I forget the carrier) couldn't do any damage to this hung of sculpted metal! lol I just got around to installing it last night. Fitment on two of the bolts was a bit tight, so I would recommend a "dry" fitting before you put the RTV on it, you need to know what bolts to start with, and obviously don't tighten any of them until you have them all started. I haven't put it on the dyno, but I'm pretty sure I've gained at least 10 HP from this mod! ;o) Heavy duty, very well made product. I'll be getting one for my Chrysler 8.25 soon! I've done a post with lots of pictures of the installation on xjtalk.com.
