For gear set up I wouldn't want to go to a place where their service is not up to snuff or they don't work on my type of vehicle regularly. Seriously, it could be a real PITA to be the guinea pig for their new guy. Yes, it may work out once in awhile but folks also win the lottery once in awhile. I'd rather go with realistic odds. And really the ARB compressor is nothing to brag about anyway. Why pay more for your lockers and gears from 4 Wheel parts to get the free compressor? A smart shopper will find a shop that will do a package price which will most likely trump their piece by piece kit. And I'm not out to bash 4 wheel parts. I think they are perfectly good place to buy something generic like a tow strap or tires.

5k for parts and install, WOW! I knew the parts were expensive. It must be more labor intense than I'm thinking. I've had my ARB front locker sitting on the shelf since April because I don't have anyone local who I trust to set it up. I'm not looking forward to tearing it down. Once I get it all apart I'll take it to Boise to a Toyota specialist to get the gears set up. Then I'll reinstall the whole mess.
