lots.


depends. will you be bringing in the 3rds yourself? or will the shop be pulling and reinstalling them for you?

I just had IWE install an ARB in my 74's rear 3rd. I dropped off the removed 3rd and supplied the locker. My bearings were fine and re-used. They supplied a crush sleeve, pinion nut and seal.

$435.

I would guess if you're driving your truck in open and leaving with it locked you'll be looking at least $4000 with a compressor.
Sure wish I'd held out for a 74 with lockers now that I decided to keep my 70 for a bush pig. Oh well...

Iif your leaving your 70 as the bush truck, why would you need lockers in the 74, you know, your DD

Good point - I should have spent the money on spinners and a lowering kit instead. Doh!

Provided you had something solid underneath your tires.

Exactly what I was thinking. You ight end up pounding yourself into the mud hole! It would be a great spectacle with the mud flying though!!
