Now i know there are a long list of parts fro VatoZone (No offense Irby) and the like that are not even work the price of the paper your receipt is printed on, but this one takes the cake.
Clear Gearz

"Clear Gearz allows you to monitor oil levels, gear wear and the presence of moisture."
Good thing since there is no fill plug to top it off.

"Clear Gearz have been extensively tested and proven to be as strong if not stronger than any other cover currently made."
Man have we been buying the wrong stuff for our rigs.
 
that might be cool on a street vehicle that never went off road maybe with some neon lights under the bumper to shine down on it so you can see the gears turning while cruisgin the strip!!

but i dotn get how your suppose to fill it up unless you drill and tap the pumpkin for the fill plug.

Yeah I can see the headline now. "Car show spectator run over while trying to watch gears turn."
 
LMAO that would be funny, wrong, but funny

i think we should buy some of those and make a jeep rat rod wrangler and use those to show off our gears yeh! and put some truck ballz on the back side so people know we got some :D

In my daily driver the GM 10-bolt has the filler plug on the housing, but it's still a stoopid product.

That cover sure looks like a Dana 44 / Dana 60 cover so yea, the lack of a filler hole would be completely `tarded.
I bet the instruction manual tells you to jack up one side of the vehicle, pull the axle shaft and pour in your diff oil at the end of the axle tube.:looser:

I sure wish I could find a picture- about four years ago there was a guy on eBay manufacturing / selling a fake GM 12-bolt cover that bolted onto your GM 10-bolt. It cost ~$200.

hey, hank III has the clear gear covers on his 4x4 ford tour van, and i put them on for him when i worked at essentially offroad. they are actually quite a bit stronger than a stock cover, FYI. that is a gm 12 bolt axle, which you can fill from the housing. the plexi cover will flex a bit as opposed to cracking or denting unlike stock or some of the cast ones. they are way tougher than they look:D i thought it would be cool to drill out another hole similar to one for an arb line and put blue l.e.d.'s inside to show off the goodies;)
 
Looks like a Sterling cover too me, which also has a fill plug in the housing.
 
No offense taken shrek. LOL i didnt even know we sold that cover by the way. but who in the hell would use that?? one that really blows my mind is the Tornado products. What kind of damn idiot really thinks that is gonna help out your car? Really??? I havent met one person that thinks they are really helping their car and if they do think it is, They dont know sh*t about their car.
 
Yeah - "Truck Nutz" are farkin' stupid.

Once I get my refit done (I'm sure Truck Nutz won't go away in the meantime...) I'm going to get a pair of large hex nuts - say, 2-1/2" or 3" - and hang them from my trailer hitch.

"What's those?"
"Them's my truck nuts."
"That's stupid."
"No worse than the phoney scrotes hanging from kids' trucks these days..."

Most of the yo-yos I see with those on their trucks should put themselves in line for an adapaertomy anyhow (say it out loud a few times, sound it out. You'll get it... It's a related procedure to the addaciktomy...)
