Yea. I did the one on the '05 2 months ago. Easy job. Replaced the 2 of the guide pulleys and rebuilt the tensioner pulley (standard 6203 bearing about $10, get one that can handle high RPM). Order all the parts before ya start the job. Amazing how much quieter it is now.
I built mine from Summit purchased components (Russell) for my '88 - which are not much different than Gen 2 / 2.5.
I followed essentially this post but replaced the rear Earls line with one from Russell

Unless ya really need the $$$$ you get for it.
Too many LC fanatics out there. Easily double or triple the...
yea, that is a tough call. Most of the items are just normal PM for a vehicle with nearly 300K miles (most don't make it this far!) and it is difficult to find anybody to pay extra for that.
The bolts/nuts should be no big deal. Just mild steel metric grade 8.8 - nothing special. Copper or brass nuts would be nice although not mandatory. Do you have the "old" springs that you could match up to something at your local NAPA or Midas or hardware store.
I have my RTT on top of my ARB rack and am planning on a new solution for the coming summer. Adds about 6" of unneeded height to the situation. Will probably go with 4 Yakima gutter mount pairs and an aluminum ATV ramp. 48" x 90"
Here is a photo of the 3.0L pulley (harmonic balancer) - mine, note the difference of the keyway slot in the 3.0L vs. the roll pin hole in the 3.5L pulley in Jay's photo.
