Tire Kingdom you say. Great price, funny name. Seriously that's a good price for all of that. Good choice on the nitrogen in the tires.

Why would diff fluids cost $180.00 per axle?

I think I got the ARB differential cover, lube locker AND the Royal Purple synthetic fluid for close to $180 per axle

Granted, both were babied and never taken off road. Is it really THAT important to change the fluid every 12,000?
I've never changed mine either,I guess we don't know what were missing.

Wow... That's probably the smartest thinking I've heard in a long time.... WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THIS?!

I guess not. Maybe it's for the more avid offroaders??? Or maybe I haven't been taking care of my vehicles that well . They've all gone well over 150,000 miles, and were still going strong (Well, the explorer was rusting to pieces, but the drivetrain was great, and the silverado was rear ended).

I'm only halfway to the mark, so I have some time to think if I'm going to get this service done anyways...

Zipper lubricant.
I use it on my boat, and now my Jeep, twice a year.
