Default I did it

I finally got the other half to let me spring for new gears, lockers, differential covers and shocks.


1) 4.56 ring and pinions (frt. & rr)

2) Yukon zip lockers (frt. & rr.)

3) cast iron diff. Covers.

4) Bilstein 5100 series shoks.

Nice! Any idea who you're going to have install the gears? I'm hoping to do a gear swap this summer but don't trust many people to touch my toys.

Kevin at Jeeperz Creeperz in Wyandotte does good work, he did my gears and lockers. Theres also Unlimited Offroad in Fenton - those are the only two I've had experience with.

Good to know! I'll check them both out when the time comes. I'm getting tired of having little tires.
