Food for thought.... since they already produce the 10-bolt and therefore would just need to tweak some things to make a SA 10-bolt, then would the opposite hold true? If you pay the setup costs for them to start making a 12-bolt, will the cover be SA only OR will they use the setup to then produce their own 12-bolt cover and therefore compete against you (basically double-dipping)??
I may sell my 4x and get the American Rebel and paint it red
We should have painted your stock cover red.... that would've been an awesome contrast with the machined 4xg cover over it.Originally Posted by Core XK

It's never too late
Ive talked to them trying to get a 12 bolt made, they said it costs them $6500 for the mold?!?! I have not gotten a response if they are going to do it. Im glad everyone liked my option as I showed Adam the one he bought cause I think that is so sick!! Especially with the Jeep logo I like having everything look Jeep

$6,500 is better than the price they just gave me, I think I need to talk to them some more.

I agree, as long as the 12 bolt is STILL used in current models, that's what we need to find out.

When I first spoke to the John, I spoke the Anne and Juan I believe and he told it will cost about $6500 just for the milling and create the mold for it, then cost of each diff cover. Seems like quite a bit but I dont know much about it. All I know is I fell in love with that cover when I saw it and would love a 12bolt!!!

Hands down the best diff cover that can be purchased for the 8.25 10 bolt. Inexpensive too!
...and the goods located behind that sexy cover!!
