Or the 2.72:1 low very often? (in lieu of stock 4:1)
2. How tough is the install? (I'd like to be able to put it in myself, if possible)
Thanks!

I just was thinking as a great winter project with a PSC kit.
I just hopefully fixed a rear transfercase leak, by installing a new rear seal, If that don't fix it well I might be removing the transfercase for inspection. And that might be a great excuse to buy one!!!

A used rubicrawler has come up for sale on e bay in the UK. The price is less than £100 ($75) so far, so I'm very tempted to bid.
My question is, how reliable are these units? Is there anything I need to ask about or look out for regarding wear or damage please?
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated
