Frack me..
Unless its showing the wire in the sidewall or losing air they wont replace it. I just got back from mine and thats what they told me.
That would suck. Yours was a little worse than mine, crap.

Needs more work, a little long and the keyhole was obstructed.
Check out these welds!
Now the key lines up..
perfecto!
Time for paint now. What do you think?

Frack me..
Once again, I broke a ring gear. I did this hill last time, no issues.. this time.. BANG!
Pulled it at base camp, another group there said they had one close by. Drew drove me almost 2 hours away to get it and then to walmart for parts. Thanks to Robbie for bringing some oil and jack stands and everyone else for helping with the labor.. got it changed out the next morning and drove home.
Did some homework, below are my options.. thoughts?
Options:
1. ARB Locker Front and rear, Nitro Gears 5.29 front and rear w/ARB compressor $3,050.00
2. ARB Locker in the rear, Nitro Gears 5.29 front and rear w/ARB compressor $2,200.00
3. ARB Locker in the rear, 4.10 gears w/ compressor. - $1,585.00
4. Send my 3rd in, and have him rebuild it with NITRO gears/ new seals & bearings. Replace the front gear ratio at the same time (4.88). $1180.00 w/5 year warranty
5. Grizzly Locker w/ nitro gears (rear only) 4.10 $1095.00
6. Send my 3rd in, and have him rebuild it with NITRO gears/ new seals & bearings. $580.00 w/5 year warranty
in closing.. it sounds like breaking an OEM 4.10 is rare. The fact I have done it twice in two months makes me think I am doing something wrong in the setup. I think the smartest thing is to send the broken one to ECGS and let them rebuild it right. While it is there though, should I spend the extra $600.00 and change the gear ratio. I am not made of money and this is going to kill my 4 corners budget. oh and, after all of this.. I get a 5 year warranty, so breaking another one is someone else's problem.. :woot:

I'll second the 5 year warranty. Sam I think you need to have lockers on both ends. This will allow you to better control the vehicle and you won't need to use as much wheel speed... less wheel speed = less broken stuff. Although the locker up front will put a bigger strain on your front diff and CV's, I still think its worth it. Just carry some extra CV's and diff fluid. My 2 cents.
