thats the same place that quoted me 2200. great guys over there, but kinda far from me (st charles parish) and way too high on the price. i just dropped mine off to a shop in harahan (new orleans) and they are installing the gears and ARB's for 900. i mounted and wired up my compressor and switches myself, so that saved a few dollars.

what kinda locker did you get?

$1700 for everything at OK4WD. Too much for me too spend right now.


Boots had his gears installed there, but he also had a few thousand dollars worth of other things done at the same time.

That was me. That also included the tax, but, yeah, East Coast pricing sucks!

He does the work on the side. Its not his main source of income. Around here theres really no offroad shops around. Most guys charge between $150 and $200 per axle. So its average.
