Dang! Truly good and bad... Who's doing the re-gear?? I just did a lot of research on it - let me know if you are still lookin around. I know it's quite a bit more, but if you're getting the gears, it's the same labor to install the locker. Ha and we just missed the marlin buy - I could call and ask to extend the order if you're interested to try to get the free compressor ??

I remember you posting that.. What kind of install would it take for the marlin set? I've got Randy's ring and pinion doing the install. Do you know what parts marlin will drop in? I gotta replace the carrier and possibly more depending.. Randy's quoted just under 3G's for the front/rear regear and rear zip locker install out the door. Randy's rep and warranty on the install made it sit a little easier.

We should definitely talk about this then! Maybe at a meet or over phone.
You can get a fully rebuilt front and rear diff, with all new seals, bearings, etc, and ARB's, for right around 3k from Marlin Crawler or from East Coast gear supply. Added costs on top of that is shipping, gear oil, and some FIPG.
I know when I spoke with randy's the gear install didnt include install of the compressor or wiring or anything, which I wanted to do on my own anyway. Did that price include a compressor? If you do go through randys, go to ringpinionservice.com and get their labor coupons.
We could call Marlin if you're up for the extra work and could see if they will add to my existing order to get the old discounts.

Yea Thats a tough one. That price did include the tire capable compressor and 25% off labor coupon. Also the carrier which needs replacing (Randys has used cores on the shelf $120)
Pricing marlins set up after shipping and core refund, front/rear ARB equipped 3176 + larger compressor + carrier = $3561
This would also require you to break down and send your rear 3rd member.
I think there might be some additional shipping charges but im not really sure how this setup works.
I could add another locker up front for 3800 ish. So $240 difference, to have a local shop work it and in 1 day. Thinking about it, Im ok paying that knowing that I've got them 10 minutes away. There might be more going on in the front that needs replacing, so it feels a little better keeping the work local. They warranty their work too so in case something goes wrong at least im dealing with a local shop.
Granted, im installing a Yukon zip locker where marlins setup is an ARB. Read into these debates all over the forums. The kicker for me was yukon's 2yr $2000 warranty on any damaged parts due to the locker. Worth a shot in my book. Also saved a couple hundred.
Pros and Cons for both routes. Im just stoked im gonna be locked up soon!!
Eh, have fun today guys! Find some good lines, gonna wanna play with my new toy soon!
