Is there a place on Camp Pendleton maybe? I know they have a shop near the back gate. I don't know how much of a discount they give for military guys. There are some shops on Oceanside Blvd between El Camino Real and I-5 also. My 3.73's were $150 installed in Dallas, TX, but I bought the gears, bearing, seals and shims and brought them in. Anyway, I haven't lived in Oceanside in a couple years, but those shops on Oceanside Blvd should still be there. You could also check Carlsbad and maybe even San Diego if you can get a ride back.
