12-bolt option as well?

[pjmjr508]

12-bolt option as well?

Same question

[07JeepXK]

I take it that's a photoshop? Cause that's not an 8.25 cover

[criket]

Yea i was thinking the same. Looks like a Dana 44

[lekmedm]

12-bolt option as well?


x2

[LWM]

12-bolt option as well?

They are working up the price on both.

[06JeepXKHEMI]

do we have an estimated time of availability?

[07JeepXK]

12 = NEVER!!! Bwhahaha

[Matt]

They are working up the price on both.

Awesome

[LWM]

I have to order 10 of these at a time to get them for a price that allows me to make a little (very little) and still sell them for the $137.00 they are listed for on the American Rebel website.

I know there is interest in the 12 bolt (no price yet) but is there any interest in the 10 bolt Steel Armadillo cover before I order 10 of them?

[DetroitMarauder]

I've been wanting to order one recently so if they're at that price I'll wait and order one from you.

Oh, and will it be silver or will it come in black?

[Matt]

I bet my friend Tim will buy one.

[07JeepXK]

If you can get a 10 bolt identical to mine in black with jeep logo ill order one through you. My buddy with the WK that we did the gear swap on wants one.

[cabledog25]

i would buy one too.

[LWM]

I will ask if they all have to have the same logo or if I can mix them up.

[LWM]

I need to ask this question, do you prefer the raw silver color or black?

[cabledog25]

i would prefer the raw silver.

[Matt]

I would think the raw silver will let us paint them easier as opposed to black.

[brendon]

I like it!

[06JeepXKHEMI]

Id prefer black wtih Jeep logo 12 bolt, but Ill do the SA logo if need be. I like the Jeep logo keeping it lock stock but black would be my choice

[Matt]

Would you be opposed to painting it black?

[06JeepXKHEMI]

I would prefer to get it black, lazy I know but I like it the way it comes

[Matt]

lol let me rephrase that... if 9 guys are good with raw silver, and you prefer black, would you not purchase it because you'd have to paint it?

[06JeepXKHEMI]

hahaha if they are making a 12 bolt diff cover Id want it to be black yes, if only silver is available Id go to them for a black one

[DetroitMarauder]

I'd also prefer it come in black. I'd rather not spend $150 on something and the first thing I do to it is paint it. I think it would look awesome black with a silver center section with the SA logo.

[07JeepXK]

You want it to come in black Andrew. Whatever they paint it with is some really heavy duty stuff. It's almost like line-x or something.

[mrnavy2]

I need to also count I would like it in black with jeep logo.

[LWM]

I need to also count I would like it in black with jeep logo.

I know I can get the black 10 bolt with the jeep logo, the 12 bolt will not have the jeep logo if I have to pay all the tooling fees unless they let me be the sole distributor.

I have no problem with SA logo but definitely want black.

[mrnavy2]

I do have a 10 bolt. When do u plan to order them?

[mrnavy2]

12-bolt option as well?

Matt, you have a 12 bolt cover?

[Matt]

Matt, you have a 12 bolt cover?

Yup. QuadraDrive-2 has a 12bolt

[cabledog25]

if its just going to be the black with jeep logo ill wait for something else. i was hoping it was going to be the silver with the SA logo.

[07JeepXK]

Unless you plan on painting the cover red or blue or something crazy like Matt is going to do then you want the black cover. It's not normal black paint. It's a really nice heavy duty coating of some sort. Lol

[lekmedm]

I'll take either logo with either finish. If it's the silver one, I'll just spray it with bedliner.

[LWM]

I plan to order plain silver and painted black in the 10 bolt with the SA logo, The 12 bolt is the only one up in the air at this point.

[06JeepXKHEMI]

The reason I want black is as Adam said its not just painted black, its a thick coating. Being Im up north I want something thats protected from the elements. Also it will blend right in with the XK. As far as the logo, Im good with the SA would prefer Jeep but I have no problem at all supporting SA for getting this done!!!

O should have reminded that I'm in for a 12 bolt.

I will take a 10 bolt black with jeep logo. Let me know when u order. Thanks Steve

[cabledog25]

yeah thats my plan is to paint it a different color. so i would take a silver with SA logo.

[LWM]

I received an e-mail today indicating that I can order any combination of covers as long as I order 10 of the ten bolt at a time.

2 Black Jeep
4 Black Steel Armadillo
4 Sand Blasted Steel Armadillo

or any other combination.

The ODC-C825 is the 10 bolt version and I would love to pre-sell a few before I stock my shelf with ten and then find everyone went a different direction. American Rebel lists the "Jeep" version on their web site for $161, If there is enough interest I can purchase ten and ask $155.00 plus shipping.

[DetroitMarauder]

got an idea of shipping cost?

(I'd want a black SA one.)

[07JeepXK]

I was just on the website and don't see a listing for the 8.25 cover

[cabledog25]

you can put me down for a sand blasted SA one.

[LWM]

I do not have the correct photo as this is the only one they sent me, I will update the photos when I actually have products to take photos of.

[LWM]

Cost will vary but I cannot image it would be any more than $15 to $20 depending on where you live. I think these might fit in the one price USPS box.

Until I get my hands on one to weigh and then test fit in a box I really can't address shipping costs.

Oh I thought you meant it was on the American Rebel website. Here are some pics of the cover right out of the box and installed if you would like to use them for your website. I can get better installed pic if you would like.

The cover doesnt weigh a lot at all. It's made out of a lightweight Aluminum. If you would like, I could measure the size of the cover so you know what size box it will fit in. I already threw out the box it was originally shipped in.

[06JeepXKHEMI]

That looks awesome! I cant get over it, aaaaahhhh I want a 12 bolt!!!!

[07JeepXK]

Wait to you see a pic of the track bar cleaned up along with the axle tubes touched up with new paint. That last pic was before I added fluid and as you can see the track bar is dirty from my hands

[06JeepXKHEMI]

Send more pics then!!! I love this cover so glad I came across it and people like it to. It really cleans up the rear of the XK

I would love any photos you have and measurements.

If I can find a buyer for my brand new 4x diff cover Id like to get a 10 bolt sa diff. Cover (silver)

[cabledog25]

Any updates on the SA diff cover?

[LWM]

I have to order ten minimum so I am trying to find out what people want and then I will place an order.

[LWM]

Does anyone have a 12 bolt cover that they have removed for some reason and do not need any longer? The Company I am working with to make the new one wants a sample cover and before I go buy a new OEM one I thought I would see if anyone can help out.

[mrnavy2]

Any word om the covers yet?

[LWM]

I ordered a 12 bolt OEM cover from the dealer, I will pick that up today and then this week we will take digital photos of it and enter them into the computer and render the drawings for the new 12 bolt version.

[06JeepXKHEMI]

Awesome, this is exciting! Cant wait to get this cover!

[mrnavy2]

Did you already order the 10 bolt ones with Jeep?

[LWM]

Did you already order the 10 bolt ones with Jeep?

I have not ordered the 10 bolt. I will get them listed up and place that order if you guys are ready. I have to order ten at a time.

[mrnavy2]

I will be ready January 1st. Who else will be ready? I would like the black with JEEP 10 HOLE.

[1USMC]

I may be interested in a black 12 bolt.

I don't get a chance to check the forum as often as I would like and I haven't been receiving any e-mail updates when a thread is updated, so you may need to send me a e-mail when an order is materializing.

Thanks !!

[Commander]

Did the 12 bolt covers ever materialize ?

[LWM]

Did the 12 bolt covers ever materialize ?

Still working on it, the California Company seems to have dropped the ball.

[Fondy]

If it ever happens I am dead keen for a Black 12 bolt with either logo.

Cheers
