"My question is why do you need 2 install kits?"

The second kit is for when the Ox locker breaks and you have to remove it.

They have a bad habit of screwing people royally on orders and BAD customer service. Other than that they're swell.

and that's their goal.... to get their advertisements to every high skooler out there and get them to buy parts from them. problem is they leave too many folks out to dry... and have no remorse for it. not to mention every sales rep I have talked to that sits behind the counter or answers the phone has been an idiot. I was told once by a sales rep that i can't get 35 spline hubs and 35 spline stub shafts for my year/model Dana 60! i laughed at him and left.

i have found that National Tire and Wheel competes with 4WP pretty strongly and they have always price matched for me! the only thing is 4WP is like the wal-mart of 4x4 supply. they have quite bit.

The bigest problem with the Electrac is that its based on the TrueTrac ls which doesn't like 35" tires.

You think they would get the prices down on that stuff to turn it over.

They will drop prices, once they realize that Ox sales arent increasing any (possibly decreasing).

Why pay more for an Ox than a Detroit? Sure, you get ring and pinion(and even two install kits), but...

What am I missing here? "1" is the same as "one". Uno. Single. 1 gearset is enough to gear 1 axle, not 2.

ok, yes you get one free, but look at the line under that one. 1 g&g ring and pinion. all this means is they are putting the whole package on sale and this is their way of trying to make you think that you're getting something for "free". the wording and the order in which they list the items is just an advertising ploy . all companies do this to make you feel like you're getting something for nothing in hopes that you'll buy it. sorry if i came off wrong and for the confusion. no hard feelings.
