Rear differential cover options??

[Tstinson]

I'm helping my son save for and install an ARB rear locker. While we're at it, we want to take the opportunity to replace the rusting diff cover but we're not having much luck finding many options. We'd LOVE to find something like the bright red ARB diff covers but I guess the 4Runner is not mod'd quite as often as a jeep!

Thank you in advance for your help!

4runners don't have bolt on diff covers. There are some you can weld on if yours is rusting through.

This is the only one I've ever seen. Weld on just as the previous poster said. One of the stupider designs by Toyota if I do say so. Some have used it and said it contacts the panhard bar. The only other option is to replace the entire axle housing.

I was aware of the cover being welded on but could not find a replacement until the one JRZEE... provided a link to. Thank you very much Turbo8 and JRZEE for the help!

The factory "cover" isn't just a welded on cover, it's a structural part of the multi-part, stamped steel housing.
