Default Finally Gears done right

Installed gears and bearings in my Jeeps 8 1/4. Fixing a botched job from a local installer, 20 thousands to much pinion shim, far too much carrier bearing side load causing bearing failure in one year & 10k miles, destroyed threads on pinion shaft. after three attempts by DF to correctly install gears with each time i had to go back into the differential to correct careless mistakes. Way to go Desert Fab!

Finally installed the turn signal markers on my tj flares.......so sexy, can't wait to do the 97+ clip conversions with all clear markers maybe smoked a little but lets get the front clip first!!!

Ended up putting my Moab rims(stock rubican size) back on since I need the gas mileage right now. Also enjoying the extra bit of power since I'm used to 33's. DEFINITELY need my IRO double shear track bar now or I may just go buy the $40 TRE for the time being. It would up the resale of the track bar by $20 or so when I do upgrade.

I wasn't going to cap either end because it's an open tube so it would just run through... I didn't see it as a big need. I will gusset the top though in the future

Well if you want to kinda mass produce them that would help with the looks. And maybe you can paint them with bedliner.
