Default Quick Question before I order a 4:1

Are there any gaskets or bits that I need to order along with a Rubi TCase? Or is it just an RTV deal?

Thanks!

$1400 Canadian it would seem, direct from Mopar.

That's dealer cost. I think retail is $2750! Pays to be married to a Dodge employee. Looks like I should be able to sell my case for about $400, making it a $1000 upgrade, giving my clutch some more life until we swap in a PR44, front and rear lockers and 5.13's.

Can't justify gearing an axle that will be tossed out later on, at least this way we can keep wheeling while helping the clutch out a little bit. The clutch smell is pretty horrid on some of my favourite trails. 35's, 3.21's and a 2.72 t-case is not a great match to climbing steep rock faces.

Was going to do temporary take-off 4.10's, but this gains us more reduction with less wasted money.

Also, I'm making great progress on building a Rubi for half the price difference of a Rubi!

What does it take to hook one of us plebians up with a deal like this?

Keep an eye out on Craigslist and the for sale section. People sell them for pretty cheap too

No sealer required. Machined surfaces. Some do add it, I opt not to. If there is a leak, I want to know about it.
