Smile Teaser: Gears and Lockers

Please dont judge me on the choices i have made on what brands or anything i have chosen for MY jeep, just be happy for me haha

But that said, here are a few teaser pics of some goodies i bought recently, im almost done with the rear and maybe next week ill do the front. I was planning on doing a build thread of the gears but its pretty complicated to explain but will see how many pics i get of the process

If you don't mind me asking, how much did all of that cost you? Looks pretty pricey to me

just LOOKING at that picture makes me feel like a child on christmas. yeah the regear process is insane I wouldnt bother with a write up
cant wait to hear how the test run goes congrats man
curious why you chose 4.56 over the 4.88's tho?

for anyone who wants a regear write up, this is a pretty decent one

yeah the write up would be really hard and i would have a lot of people arguing with me and what no, plus there is so much info online

and i chose 4.56 over 4.88 because i do a lot of driving with it and i drive highway a lot. So driving 75mph at 3k rpm isnt what a want, there is a slight bit of a difference but thats what my engine mods are going to be for. I might end doing a 4.6 stroker or changing out to a chevy 5.3...Also when i change my tires next time im going to be running 40's...at that time i will swap out to dana 60 or 10.25 and a 44 up front and run 4.88's haha i have a lot of plans for my jeep since i will keep it for a long time

ok just wondering for my own gearing purposes. I wanted the 4.88's for my future 35's but I was worried about breakage because I'm prone to severe skinny pedal. lol
so I think I want to do 4.56 as well with an engine mod or two as well

that looks like a pretty decent contact pattern. only looks a little bit off at this angle

I adjusted it a final time before throwing on the pinion seal but it's good now, 4.88 is a little torquey because like you said the whole skinny pedal thing but it's all on the driver honestly.
