I'm looking forward to it. I've been craving the gears since I went to 35's. The lockers I figured I better do it while it's torn down.
I drop it off today and they will have it ready Monday afternoon they say.

Got the gears and MOST of the air lockers done... the person doing the work didn't have time to mount the switches for the air lockers and was headed out on vacation the next day to Mexico,, so the gears and lockers are all done except the switches. Goes back in next Wed. to complete the job.
BUT the gears feel good. Have only drove it about 50 mmiles but yesterday and this morning I was driving and thought,,, hmmmm must have to recalibrate the speedo because I can't be going this fast up this hill without hitting overdrive . I've driven that hill every day since I got the jeep new so I KNOW how it feels normally.
So when I got home tonight I grabbed the GPS and went for a drive,,,, the speedo is dead on like it was before so that only means one thing..... the gears are doing there job .
