@RanchoShocks glide plate will not work with the Motobilt diff cover, I tried installing them a couple weeks ago:I believe MC is getting close to releasing theirs but the way I understand it will require buying their front diff cover too. Should be plenty stout. We’re already running motobilt covers so will probably do the Rancho and just paint it black

Man that’s good to know and a shame. I wonder how hard it would be to modify theirs to work. We are set up for some pretty serious metal fab work, could build our own but sometimes it’s easier to just buy one, especially this close to ejs@RanchoShocks glide plate will not work with the Motobilt diff cover, I tried installing them a couple weeks ago:
You can widen the hole for the diff drain plug to make it work. But, the one hole for the ubolt could be the issue. Drilling a bigger hole for the ubolt to fit will probably worsen the strength and integrity of the mounting tab.Man that’s good to know and a shame.

I don't think that will be a problem. The tab is against the differential and any force will go up. So the tab will have plenty support from the differential.You can widen the hole for the diff drain plug to make it work. But, the one hole for the ubolt could be the issue.

Latest update that we have is late summer. We are working with the foundry on covers but they first ones take some time.I am also waiting for the MC front dif skid to hit.
Any word on when?
Will the front diff skid work without ur M cover?Ran it thru the Rubicon for jeepers jamboree. Worked great and hope to be able to release them soon.
No, We use the cover to mount it. It has bosses that the skid bolts into.Will the front diff skid work without ur M cover?
Glad I just read this. I was buying this today. I guess I’m going to keep looking...Man that’s good to know and a shame. I wonder how hard it would be to modify theirs to work.
