Used overlanders info to contact Colin. Even on vacation "down south" he returned my call next day. All these years later he's still the same helpfull guy.

Outdated yes, but I think they actually may be cheaper than $650 now.

You're right. The 3500# is about 100 bucks less now. The 5000# derated to 3500# is 650.00. With shock mount. high profile and 32 down. New to me standard feature, spindles have a grease fitting. Unlike the "bearing buddy" the spindle is bored to grease from the middle out, less likely to pop the inner seal. Have'nt seen that in many years. Another pleasent supprise. Frame steel is noticably less $$ than a few yrs back. .032 belly pan alum about the same even with shipping! Of course these prices are in my area, most likley even less when you get out of northern Vermont.
