So I was reminded arb only warranties their lockers when a certified shop installs them. Anyone know off hand what install cost is?
Front or rear?
Running mine off CO2 as well through the PT ARB manifold. Picked up a used second tank so I can use one for the locker(s) and the other for backup/tires/tools.

Heya NM. The ARB certified installer/warranty thing is an internet myth. I spoke with the tech manager at ARB USA and he said that there are no authorized installers, only authorized dealers. As a result, "the warranty is intact regardless of who installs it" I can forward you the entire email conversation if you want it. I also have two copies of the installation instructions and warranty info if you want a paper copy.
Also, 4 Wheel Drive Parts here in ABQ will install lockers for $450 per axle (quoted about a year ago). They will also swap diff gears for free while they are in there.

You know you want to do this your self... I'm sure that you and your local friend have what it takes to get it done. Let's have some beers after I get back next week and I can share the install info/tools that I've gathered...

Haha yeah, true. But they are having a 20% off install until July 7!
Hit me up when you get back

I would love a copy of that for reference.
No problem. I think I sent the email from my work account and I'm out of town visiting family right now. It's a pain to remote into my work email but I'll give it a shot tonight. If it doesn't work, I may have to send it on when I get back to work on Monday.

You know, Denver isn't far away.
I know a guy... $300 per.... but he's kinda elusive.... I think he sniffs bear poo.
Rok, if I decide to go "the adventerous route" it might have to be in your garage...

That will work; you and Terra are always welcome. I've been playing with pneumatic components (robotics hobby stuff) for several years and have a bunch of regulators, valves and fittings laying around. Maybe you can find something you can use.
We have bear poo too.
Sounds like someone doesn't want to do the work for you..
Why does re gearing cost so much? I can buy a M205 ship it over to California buy gears for it get it completely rebuilt and people around here want the same cost to install gears in the rear diff when I already own the diff? I wish I knew someone around here that knows how to do this and has a little more confidence then me. I'm sure I would be fine but I would like someone with a little more experience.
I called the 4wp in Houston and they quoted me 800+ I laughed and hung up. I heard Scott does not work at the 4wp in TN anymore. The reason they like it out of the vehicle is so they can rotate it and not have it on the lift to do all the work.
The issue is if it is in Houston. I will have to drive my vehicle there so the axle will be installed.
My 4wp is doing my 2gen for 300, and the guy comes highly recommended by some of the local folks, at first I was apprehensive about using 4words but after talking with some locals I trust he does good workI called the 4wp in Houston and they quoted me 800+ I laughed and hung up.
