do cast iron covers really hold in a lot of heat? Someone mentioned on a youtube video and has me concerned because I might start pulling a small camper long distances.

Heres my Rubicon. About a parking spot length awayI like the idea of the glide plates. I'm curious how they look from far away. I don't want a bunch of "extra stuff" under the jeep. I guess I could always paint them black.
Thank you!!! thats actually very helpful!Heres my Rubicon. About a parking spot length away]
No, Rancho provides a hole in the bottom to drain oil. Actually that’s one of the big benefits to these guide plates is it protects the drain plug under the differential. There was a poster who was rock crawling and scraping rocks actually loosened the drain plug and started to leak.Do you have to take that off to change the diff fluid?
They do fit with a little grinding on the front or the rear, I can't remember which one I had to grind on. I think it was the front.Can anybody confirm that the Rancho skids fit on the Dana covers? I wanted the MC, and much less expensive, but just cant get over the goofy fill hole
How much fluid did you add when did the front MC cover?Got the MCs installed today
Did 1.3Q front and 1.6Q rear based on https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/differential-oil.28127/page-5#post-1023098How much fluid did you add when did the front MC cover?
A few questions on the MC's: Do you paint the inside of the cover, and what kind of paint did you use? And what did you do about the differential gasket?Got the MCs installed today
Painted just the outside. Be sure to clean inside and out with your favorite engine cleaner though. I just used a rattle can of some high temp engine paint. Reused the rubber gasket (rubicon).A few questions on the MC's: Do you paint the inside of the cover, and what kind of paint did you use? And what did you do about the differential gasket?
