    When I regeared my stuff, I took it to the diff shop down in the springs and he didn't have anything good to say by the arb install on my front diff that ecgs did. He was surprised it lasted the 3 years I was driving on it

    Change their acronym to "every coastie gear setup fails" ? ECGSF :transformer: seems like a trend here. Hate to bash but there is a quantifyable trend happening

    This is both disturbing and good to hear. I've been on the bubble if ordering an ARB setup from them.
    I always assumed from the number of guys on here ordering from them that they had a good reputation.

    Whatever. It's not like he's updating us on build stuff.

    I suspect tax season has something to do with it. Blah.

    Truck is looking badass Bob! Curious about the tires... what size did you go with? I've been looking around for new tires and the TSL radials are up there so I'm curious about the Trxus' you got.
