Clear Gearz
 
Has anyone used the new product I see being advertised, the see-thru
diff covers? It seems like a neat idea but I am skeptical of anything
clear being near strong enough to do the job.

JP magazine did a test on one where they ran it over, and it broke.

BUT, they said that it would not have broken if it had actually been
mounted.

I don't personally know of anybody who has one.

There was a "shootout" of diff covers recently in one of the mags. The "clear
gearz" cover was flexible and got crushed in their test (bolted it to a steel
plate and ran over it with a bulldozer), and they made the lamest claim..."if
there were gears behind it, the gears may have helped it to keep its shape." I
tend to be skeptical when a diff cover's propensity to crush and come in
contact with moving parts is touted as a "feature."

They're worthless IMO for 'wheeling, but are probably more at home on
trailer-queen show trucks.

And for some reason the name "clear gearz" reminds me of the accessory no one
should be without, "Truck Nutz."
