Actually there is a flat spot on the right side of the floor of the differential where they fit nicely. I don"t know if anyone puts them on the cover.

Yep, right here in both front and rear...

That's the same spot I put mine as well

And I got the Ballistic fab cover earlier, looks just as good as the DT ProFab cover. Only thing it doesn't have is a drain plug, but I guess I can live without that on the front.

Drill and tap it for a plug. Easy peasy.

Nah, I'll just leave it. I'll want to take them off to clean/inspect the locker magnets every time I change them anyway.

Just opened up my package with the bolts in it just to make sure they were all there with the plug and noticed they even give you a little Ballistic Fab key chain, lol. Pretty cool little novelty they throw in.

Does the Ballistic Fab cover have both drain & fill plugs?

Hey that's great---I did something similar to mine too a few weeks back, was wondering if the heat in the bay would melt off the plastidip

Hmm, never really thought about that. I wouldn't think it would get that hot in there, atleast not above the engine where it is.

Bought some black lugs and wheel locks to help take off a little of the chrome my wheel and tire combo added. I plan on blacking out the little bits off chrome and silver on there sometime aswell. We don't really have an issue with rims being stolen around where I live but I go on trips a couple times a year and it seems like times are getting worse for theft so those locks will give me peace of mind on those trips.

What's the status report / update on the Grabbers after a few months now?

Still haven't got much for info, it's not my main daily driver so I've only put 5k on them. They're still quiet, good traction in everything dry (loose/hard pack dirt, gravel, etc.) and pretty good in wet conditions as well (no mud yet though). Have only worn 1/32" in that 5k so we'll see what kinda mileage they get. Speaking of mileage they also gave me a boost in mpg after having them on for awhile. Went from averaging 12-14 @ 65mph to 15-18 @65. Overall average was boosted 1 point aswell. In town really drags everything down to the same as the 33s but still slightly better overall.

Those are definitely cooler "whiter" lights, are they 4300 or 5K? Can't tell if they're actually brighter as far as measurable illumination intensity, but they look cleaner. Any code issues with the EVIC? Since the new lights are LED, did they come with any type of resistor/heat sink. A good idea to further protect the connection is to coat it in dielectric grease before using the heat shrink then tape over it. Alternatively, the best thing you can do is to solder the connection, then dielectric grease, then heat shrink.

I think they're 5500k, which is what my headlights are (not pictured) but they are a cleaner white compared to the 5500k HIDs for my headlights. Haven't had any issues with the EVIC, doesn't even notice them. The housing is made from aluminum with a heat sink built into the back of them, he may have a resistor wired into them for codes aswell, not sure. I may end up finding a weather pack female plug that matches that factory male and wire them up like that eventually.
