A little over $1300 for the unit, but when you consider it's just moving the cross member back 7 1/2 inches and changing the driveshaft lengths, I don't think it's too bad. The nice part about this unit over a GV unit is 1 - it's cheaper and 2 - it will still function in 4WD. I'm going to have to make a change to the shifting mechanism so that I can shift it from a switch on the existing gear shifter (like the big-rigs do) but other than that, I'm really thinking it's going to be an easier retro than trying to put a 5 spd in. I don't know...here's hoping
