I heard JR is nothing but trouble since they sold the company. Warranty claims and help with parts has just gone downhill. I think it's a great deal but I'd just be weary of dealing with the new company.

You are correct, and if they do/did it would be over $3K.

Hardest part is bending the power steering lines out of the way. If you don't have power steering even better.
