    TG makes a bolt up case that's close to that. They make adapters that are about $700. Then you source your own top shift reduction box from a junkyard. I went the adapter route.

    Price went up since then. Before cores, I was at just over $4500. That’s for f&r arb lockers, yukon 5.29s, and the big arb compressor.

    Yeah I didn’t tell him I paid a third of what he paid on his axles for my rig on one tons... mine needed a lot of work though. Still does.

    He said he had almost $20k into all the accessories also.
    He’s wheeling it though. Says he’s doing the rubicon in a few weeks.

    I mean people with money like to spend it. There are some really well done rigs on this forum who are spending that kind of money.

    Fuck that bro. Unless covid made the prices spike? Lol.

    Only thing different is i got a single ARB. Takes about 25 min to air up my 35s when down at 8psi. My buddy Karan always ends up helping me out on the last tire or two. He has the dual. I do wish i woulda got that bad boy

    Anyone in the East Bay happen to detail? Got some good love marks along both sides. Don't need a deep detail, because my pockets ain't deep...just want it cleaned up and a bit of wax.

    I ordered mine before Covid and installed them the first week of WFH order.

    Dual is nice but it was a bitch to find a spot for. No room under the hood for it.
    Takes about 2-1/2 to 3 minutes per tire from 12 to 34.

    I'm happy I did the install, just because I haven't messed with gears/lockers before, but damn was it a long day. Took maybe 14 hours? Covered in diff fluid, did it at @Uphillshunter and didn't get home till like 4am, driving home with the break in period sucked, passed out in a dennys parking lot to the sound of restless crackheads on one of my cool down sessions at like 3am
