    Which install method is better. using the supplied silicon gasket they provide or using High temp gasket maker? Both options are refered to in the instructions. I am thinking the gasket maker cuz I like things bolted down tightly. With the provided gasket it says not to torque it down too...

    Subframe Install Prices, $80 ? Good Price?

    my thoughts too. Here in the swamp/woods the buddy system works well. I just cant see spending more on the install than for the parts. That sucks. I hope this guy finds a better deal out there. Good Luck. Joe E.

    Damn, Im kinda bummed. I ordered my shifter with the red handle about 2 weeks ago. I want it! I went and got a J-yard boot yesterday for free. Gonna try the half boot thing when i install the shifter. What kit did you order? Maybe the red handles are done now? Thanks Joe E.

    Subframe Install Prices, $80 ? Good Price?

    I had a local small shop weld em in for $30. I provided all parts and help hold stuff etc. Took like 30 min. Try a smaller place. Somewhere thats not flashy and new. You might be able to get a better price than $80. Good Luck. Joe E.
