    No one can do it in town and give me a 5 year warranty.

    And even with shipping ECGS is cheaper than buying the parts and then paying some local slap dick to do it.

    No one in the country will give you that warranty. Only ECGS. And they stand behind it. 100%. Can't say enough good things about that shop.

    The outer ring of the 3rd member is actually resting in the sides of the bucket. There's no actual weight on the bottom of the bucket.

    Shit has been busy around here, so progress has been a little slow. (It's also getting dark, like, 2 minutes after I get home).

    But, finally got around to re-filling the oil in the rear shocks, bleeding them, and re-filling the nitrogen. (When I added the elbows, there was a little loss, plus I had to account for the empty elbow).

    Also, painted the inner fenders of the bed sides. So, I'll leave the shocks to set overnight and test pressure tomorrow. If I haven't lost any nitrogen pressure tomorrow the shocks will go on.


    Also got an update from Dutchman axles. They should be shipped by end of the week.

    Oh... the other thing I forgot to mention. Before painting the inner fenders, I welded sheetmetal to close the shock hoops holes, and seam sealed the shit out of it.

    Yes,
    Harrop locker $1420
    5.29 Gears $260
    Gear install kit $220

    $1900

    So that makes tax, shipping, and install right at $600.

    LOL... It's kind of funny.

    A Harrop for a 9.5 diff is 1400.
    A Harrop for a 7.5 clamshell is over 1500 now.
