could you find out what the actual warranty problem was, so those of us that are going to do it ourselves are aware.

Im likely going to do the front of mine next year. I'll have to get by with tire chains and winch this year for the snow. My problem is that I have 11/20's on the rear, so inside chains don't clear the trunion. BTW, at least you live within a hundred miles of a shop that will work on it. Im on...

@Montaillou. I'd look for a shop that has experience with installing a ARB in a Rockwell 2.5 Ton. They are popular in the 4x4 off road community. Having to "see" the locker, doesn't inspire much confidence...........but theres always beginners luck.

Too bad you didn't live in east WA, I'd drive a 150 miles one way to watch you do it and hand you beers or soda.
