In a word -no

What else do you want it made out of?

[jimbo74]

why dont you want to use aluminum?

the HR bulkheads are the best, they are a little expensive, but they are worth it, as they actually screw together at the front and the rear

[monsterenergy9865]

i could try the HR bulkheads but if they keep breaking like the stock ones do i will just continue to buy the stock ones. but also i keep getting sand and dirt inside the front and rear bulkheads and it destroyed the diff i took a look at the bulkhead and it isnt sealed on the bottom seam is there any way to seal that up so i dont get anymore dirt in the bulkheads

I have never seen a broken aluminum bulkhead of any brand.

The last time I rebuilt my differentials, I put a strip of gorilla tape between the bulkhead and the skid plate; front and rear. The top seems to be pretty sealed... the bottom looked to have a decent sized gap.

Rather then upgrading bulkhead, protect the chassis from bending, preventing a broken bulkhead by buying a Tbone Skidplate. Adds a lot more weight, but saves a lot of broken parts including bulkheads! only 50$ as opposed to 100$ aluminum all around. i did it and am very happy with it. i was having your same problems.

I put a bead of silicone around the bulkhead seals great!
when it comes down to taking it apart just slice it with a knife and you don't have to take it off seals right back up
