New 5.13 Gears in Houston
Sitting at 249 Drivetrain on Houston waiting for install. Total cost is $850 for gears and labor including everything. Parking lot has several Jeeps around with two on the rack getting gears.
I'll update tomorrow evening when I pick it up. Looking forward to not downshifting on flat land, I hope.
The gears are Yukon.

Just picked the Jeep up, walked out the door for $850 flat. Jeep drove great on the 60 mile drive home. Only downshifted twice going over bay bridges which is expected. The rpms were a little high around 2,500 going 70 with the 35" Coopers on. Tomorrow I will get the 37" Coopers and it should bring it down accordingly. The power difference from 4.10 to 5.13 is phenominal, anyone considering the gear swap should do it. Best mod for the engine performance hands down.
Call Allen at 249 Drivetrain for the best price and service, with a warranty. Can't be beat, worth the drive.
