Can you let us know what the install costs as well? Don't forget LCA skids as well.

Will do Pete. The front armor kit is a bit more involved than the rear truss kit and therefore it costs a bit more to put in, but not too much. I'm working with an off-road shop near me that does all kinds of custom fabrication and welding from basic to rock buggies. They said the welding would be no problem. I should know in a few days.
I'm not sure its 100% necessary, but they were concerned about internal heat with the e-locker and internal wiring with a rubicon's electromagnetic system to go from open to full spool on 12v only.
So the shop doing my install plans to be especially careful with and around the wiring.
Nate from RK welded our rear truss on in a matter of minutes. I swore my gears were soup he was done so fast.
When I asked if he melted the gears, he laughed at me.
If it was at someone other shop and not Rock Krawler, I would have made him open the differential and show me. LOL
At RK you know the guys know what they are doing.
Yeah, with the metalcloak gamechanger 3.5, pretty much everything is replaced under your JK. Its an ideal time to install artec's kits as its only a few more steps to pull the whole axle and get the welding done. I think the shop here had it right where they have a nice cart for the axles so you can work on the welding without having to bend over and kill your back.
