      The right fit!

      Bought my TJ and it was missing this boot but had the ring. Popped the shift knob off and slid this on. Nice snug fit around the shift lever versus another I bought at a national auto parts store.

      Clamps diff cover and gasket

      These differential cover bolts are a great replacement for worn or missing hardware. They fit perfectly on my Wrangler and provide a secure seal without any issues. The quality is solid, and they give me peace of mind knowing my diff cover is properly fastened. No leaks so far, so 5/5 stars

      These were suprisingly easy to replace and worth it over cutting off seals and bearings. Straightforward bolt-on installation and leak free!
