It looks like I can get complete thirds with ARB lockers, 5.29s and the compressor with all the hook-up parts and switches for $2500 (not as bad as it seems), install cost should be very low and I would do the install of the compressor, air lines and wires myself.

agreed, i will also vouch for trail gear's differentials, i have a complete 5.29 3rd and its been working fine both on and off road... i also have dealt with trail gear with my front gears and a complete lift kit for my 84. i have had zero problems and if i did i know they will make it right. i actually thought they forgot to ship me a part and i called them to ask if they would ship it out, they asked no questions and i ended up finding the part that i had misplaced and luckily i was able to stop them from sending the part that i misplaced.

I recommend Marlin... I've got the 5.29 high pinion ARB front and V6 ARB rear from them and so far have been great. I use them in -40 degree snowy weather and hot summers and have worked every single time. Plus Marlin has been oh so nice to me even if I live all the way up in Canada.

If I were you I would still like to know what actual brand their gears are...surely they aren't sourcing these on their own are they? Maybe Brian or someone with 1st hand experience with them will chime back in...like titicaca??
As others have said alloy, lack of porosity (& proven track record), along with installation would be key IMO too...

Everything you need for plug and play except air source and wiring harness...hmmm doesn't seem too plug and play when the two parts that make it work aren't included
