How much did the kit run you?
 
Cool.

I just picked one up from Stormer for the same $$.
 
I would say how ever long it takes you to disasemble the truck and put it back together LOL :jittery:

But on a more serious note how does it handle now compared to before?
 
I'm not sure how long it took in total. This job was not a priority and I was not rushing so I did a little at a time over the course of 2 weeks. You do have to take pretty much everything apart. I did not install the "X" spur gear because it is only available as a 49T and I run a 47T. I bought a new Picco .28 June-2006 but I did not install it yet because the .26 refuses to die.
