    ^because its frowning. Which is suiting considering what that poor truck goes through haha.

    And ya, gears are pretty cheap. Its the install and lockers that get you. Ecgs beat my local shop install prices by a lot. It takes roughly a days worth of time swapping the diffs if you aren't sure what's going on. Could be done pretty fast with two knowledgeable individuals though.

    Stuff and things that make it better.
    Do you have to send them your thirds for that price?

    Edit: yep, plus shipping or pay 200.

    Contact them and get another group buy going. It was slow to get started and the biggest discount was the locker but anything is better than nothing.

    How difficult will it be to add a turbo on a 2.7 if its not factory installed?

    Lol depends how mechanically inclined you are. And by asking that question makes the answer pretty obvious.


    Get about $5,000 saved up and drop the truck off at a custom shop and let them deal with it

    Urd offers a bolt on supercharger lit for about 5k. Might not have to deal with all the little problems and gremlins off a one off job.

    I'm glad I just used a heavy duty plastic tote for my tool box. More room and it can be moved all over. It was free too, thanks army.

    I doubt you will notice it that much. 35s really wasn't that big of a leap. The jump to 32's was more noticeable than 32's to 35's.

    I went from 245's to 285 AT's and I honestly barely noticed a difference. I have an auto though so I don't have to worry about shifting with the RPM's too low. If there was a difference I basically forgot what it felt like without the 33s really quickly
