One of the pieces of literature I got from O'Reilly Auto Parts recently is a brochure highlighting Dorman's "OE Fix" series of parts, which are re-engineered to solve problems with factory parts.
In that brochure, I learned the differential covers for Toyota 4Runner, FJ Cruiser, Tacoma, and Tundra vehicles are welded in place. The problem with the factory parts is they are made of thin-gauge stamped steel, which lets rust eat away faster than other areas. Their fix was to make a replacement cover with thicker steel -- not what I would consider a lifetime fix, but since there were no replacement covers available before they introduced their part, I guess it's an improvement. I do, though, find it amazing any manufacturer would weld differential covers in place!
