After talking with a number of shops in my area, I chose Right Gear in Salinas, CA to be the shop to install the rear ARB locker on my truck. Although the shop was a little over an hour away, I feel that I made the right choice.

The locker was installed on 01/12, and took approximately 4 hours. I waited at the shop while they performed the install. If you have any work done here, I suggest you bring a book or bicycle, as there is absolutely nothing but industrial and agriculture businesses in this area. I had made special arrangements with the owner Dan Williams to take some pictures to share with the rest of the Xterra crowd. - Enjoy
