All the good reasons to maybe attempt it yourself. If you have the tools and the ambition anything is possible and mostly everything is fixable {with more money }

Labor - $700

TOTAL: $2120 :cry: :pat:

pretty darn accurate info but you also need to factor in a better compressor if you want something capable of airing up your tires etc. I chose the Sun quickair 2, but you will also need a small air tank and many misc small parts like a regulator and air guage ets. check out this site for detailed info.
http://www.onboardair.com/
also the prices you quoted are just a bit high. I got my Yukon gears which are slightly better quality than precision gears and master kits for under $600 with V6 master kits which cost more than 4cyl. Precision gears can be had for over $100 less. and I got an ARB for $600 plus the Sun compressor for $250ish. labor was right around $700 so your prices are very accurate but I think it is better to use one compressor to take care of all your air needs rather than getting the weak ARB compressor and say a power tank to air up. with the 4.88's I am only at just about 3k RPM's at 70+ mph where as with 4.10's I was at like 2,300ish and mileage is still around 15+ average. I almost wish I had gone with 5.29's but I think 4.88's are the better all around choice and since I have a SC'd V6 I think I have enough torque to go around.

Correct. I did not want to use the factory alloys for
off roading, since they are $421@, so bought a cheap set of black steel wheels and put some cheap ProComp Mudders on them. In about 15 minutes can just switch wheels (including spare since have different sizes) and be on the road for the weekend.

you could save a little money at Rocky-Road Outfitters. there's a link on my site. they have the rear ARB lockers for only $595 and the compressors for $185. do the install yourself to save another 700 clams.

I've got a 2nd gen the idea of slapping another ecu in there doesn't overly thrill me.
I found a new controller for all of those contemplating the electric locker retrofit.

Inchworm $75 cortroler

Its listed under Axle parts.

This thread turned out pretty well.
