I run them front and rear and yeah, they look cool, but I have them for oil capacity.
It's been a bit since I changed the diff oils but if I remember right, the front now holds 5 litres and the rear holds 9.
I ran a temporary temp guage on the rear diff and it dropped the temps almost 100 degrees is some situations.
They are not cheap but the extra capacity and peace of mind is worth it, at least to me anyways.

The rear diff usually tracks the 6 speed gearbox +20 or so in temps,empty my rear diff hit 150-170 range if i remember right.Engine oil(i have a gauge for that too) run at 190 almost all the time unless towing.The rear diff temp gauge already saved me once---noticed it was running a bit hot along the highway one day---decided to stop and have a look-see,the rear seal was leaking gear oil on the drivers side.I checked the level---down 2 liters---probable of saved me a rearend.Toppped it up and had it taken care of asap---no problems now.DW

And the Canadian shops wonder why US shopping is so popular.
I was looking into rims for my quad canadian prices were more than what i paid for my truck rims. I was farther ahead with getting them from the states even with shipping.

You have to understand that duties, freight and brokerage play a huge role in prices. If all this stuff was manufactured in Canada then I can see prices being lower.
And don't forget that some businesses undercut everyone by making less than 20% from their cost on some of this stuff, they do it just to make a sale. So it's goof for you, the consumer, but frustrating for us who want to make our businesses profitable. There is nothing we can do about it. We fall victim to undercutting retailers, the Border and Gov'ts.
1-5-3-6-2-4 to answer your question we are selling them for $335 CDN

As for the Mag-Hytec stuff, PDR would be the way to go and they will send it out on the Looser Cruiser(Greyhound) for ya right to Cowtown. I usually keep it local but sometimes you just can't afford to. Just my $.02...
