Default Teraflex GUSSET Install Cost

Has anyone had a shop install the Teraflex C gussets yet? Any guess on what that might run?

These were just barely released. It would depend on the shops hourly rate.

These are on my list of things to get after Christmas, but I just ordered the MBRP rack, so it will need to wait until January. I was just wondering what to expect for the install.

About a 2-2.5 hours. You don't want to burn these in too fast.

I just got a quote for the Teraflex gusset install. $100. PER SIDE.

I'll keep looking. Anyone know of a good welder in the Phoenix area?

Why don't you just JBWeld them on? Should only cost $5 or so.

I had mine installed as a package with my gears, diff covers, sleeves, alignment, and a few other goodies. I think it was around $2100 for everything from TFPlus. They did a great job!

Now THERE'S a great idea! Quick, simple, and effective! Well, maybe two out of three.

Got several quotes and they were all in the same ballpark - 2 to 2.5 hours total time for install. PM'd Teraflex and got this response:

Please advise!

That's about right. My shop guys say 2-2.5 hours.
So after the sticker shock wore off I got them done. The guy who did it took his time to do it right. Even chamfered the edges of the gusset for better weld penetration. Did a little at a time on each side, draping wet rags on the axle and ball joints to cool them down between sessions. 1st class job!

Mine was $100 at a local speed shop. He took nearly 4 hours, by burning part, then going back to whatever honda he was working on, then going back afterwards.
Haven't noticed any worse for wear. And yes, I have painted them since.
