Review: Does fit dana 30 hp! - Fits dana 30hp no issue. Took 1 minute to install. The welds aren't very impressive. But will most likely do the job and protect my new gears I just dropped in.
Review: Solid and Beefy! - Ordered a front and rear version of this. Really solid. Good heft after unboxing it. Was not expecting it to be this thick. Should save me from those rocks and hidden stumps on the trails. Bolts right on, easy install. Might as well change your diff fluid while you are at it though. Keep wheeling.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does fit dana 30 hp!
*by T***M on February 17, 2021*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid and Beefy!
*by J***M on February 26, 2014*

Ordered a front and rear version of this. Really solid. Good heft after unboxing it. Was not expecting it to be this thick. Should save me from those rocks and hidden stumps on the trails. Bolts right on, easy install. Might as well change your diff fluid while you are at it though. Keep wheeling.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Blocks filler plug
*by G***S on September 5, 2025*

What a stupid design, what were they thinking? Probably set up for low pinion (mine's a HP D30). Anyway, it's a tough little cage and will do what I needed to stave off medium rocks at low speed. But what a PITA to deal with level-check and top-off. I'll probably replace it someday with a proper monster cover.
