My jk is getting a ton of work done
5.13 gears and solid diff covers
Evo sleeves
Rcv axleshafts
Chromo rear shafts
Currie tie rod(it's Beefy as hell)
Currie draglink(beefy)
If we have time weld on some Gerry can mounts
And eventually a front driveshaft
Starting to run short on funds need to knock off a 7-11
Will post progress and pics
got the axle stripped down bare and drilled a ton of holes in it....after work today will start sleeves, front gear install and rear tear down
hope to be done tomorrow

Your front axle is going to like you. 
(I did gussets, sleeves, mini-skids, RCVs, ProSteers and a Krawler tie rod. Some of the best money I've spent on my JK.)
Looking forward to hearing your post-installation report and some photos . . .
Edit: 37s on factory Rubicon 4.10s? I stand corrected lol, your re-ratio is the best money you could have spent on your Unlimited.

Hell fawkin yeah!! That's what I'm talkin about!! Was awesome, then during the break-in ride we drove past some road work at a stoplight and work stopped to look at the Jeep... little do they know what's under it.
And not to brag... but both axles, textbook gear pattern, perfect lash, first shot on each. That little call to G2 really paid dividends! On that note, any JK Rubi who want 5.13 G2 gears installed, make me an offer.
