FS: Aussie Locker for FJ40. I've had it for several years in the rear of my 40, and I'm finally going ARB. It's very low miles, since I rarely drove Dozer on the road. Now that I'm getting her more "dual purpose", it was time to upgrade:
Looks like these sell for $319 new:

You're turning into @1974FJ , in a perpetual state of build, rarely wheel
I am jealous, I do want an ARB.
Ugh, didn't realize the 30 spline units were only a grand. Must resist.
Can have it here by next week.

But, I'm also thinking East Coast might cut you a deal if purchase and install both happened through them.
Goes against my "I do everything on moonshine" thing though.
I used to have the same train of thought. But it becomes a matter of time management as well. I don't even consider messing with manual trans or T-case rebuilding, I just call Georg at Valley Hybrids and tell him what I need and never think about it again until it shows up at my door. I know it is what we talked about and I know it is right. He spoils me too, I drop ship the adapter being used to him and he ships it to me with a split case bolted to it. I bolt it right in.
When I compare the above to slowing the roll in the shop to clean a proper bench and clean area for that amount of time it just makes no sense. Same applies to Auto trans, I've rebuilt them but why mess with it when your time is better spent on other parts of the job and a totally re manufactured unit with a warranty is a phone call away.
I don't even consider doing an exhaust system, better left to the guys with all the right tools and expertise to build what I ask for, once again a warranty.

There are a lot of factors that go into working on your own rig vs paying someone to do it.
Time vs money is one.... big factor in this is how much the person actually makes.... if someone makes $10 vs $25 an hour or 31k vs 75k a year that would have a big impact on that. If you can make more in 4 hours of work than it would cost for someone to work on your rig for 4 hours then its pretty much a no brainer...... except for another factor. Lots of guys like working on their own rig as therapy or just are happy that they can work on their own vehicle.
Seeing that I don't make much and like to work on my own truck (although sometimes I wonder) I fall into that category. As I will start to make quite a bit more in the next few years my desire to work on my own truck may drop down a bit but at the same time I still think I would do most of the work myself unless it involves a pretty expensive tool that I don't have and wouldn't use that often.
One of the great things about ONSC is the fact that if you don't know how to do it.... more than likely one of our members will and most of us are more than willing to help out with that. HAMOMs are a great thing to bring the club together and save the member who is hosting it quite a bit of money as well.
That's why i've said it before but this club is the greatest i've been a part of or seen. I highly doubt that any I join in the PNW will be half the club ONSC was and still is.
