Haven't posted in a really long time but I'm just to excited now. I bought my JKUR brand new in 2012. It's been bone stock except for the rear bumper I built, air compressor with air horns, trektop NX and the dual battery I made.

Many years of window shopping, wishing, hoping and pricing.

•borla xr-1 muffler

Ring and pinions aren't hard if you have the correct tools, just takes time and patience to get setup correctly. Take your time read allot and don't settle for close enough.

^^^^ take your time , read lots.

The tools aren't real expensive like most people tend to tell you either. You'll need a mocrometer, dial indicator with magnetic base, and you can get a bearing separator puller. You can get it all from harbor freight for pretty cheap.

Yup harbor freight or amazon for cheap. I do recommend also getting an inch pound beam style torque wrench for setting pinion preload during setup and final torque.

Oh good one. I knew I was missing something. I think I paid $20 for mine on Amazon. It's a piece of shit but it definitely got the job done.

DROELLE

thanks for the advice. haven't really found a great site that gives good detailed info though?

I used this thread when I did my regear:

I think I have one of the same ones ha ha! Once you set up enough gear sets you won't need the torque wrench any more you'll gain the feel by hand.
As far as write up or detail, there is plenty of write ups out there online on setting up ring and pinions just make sure you use jk dana 44 specs for backlash and pinion preload and go to town! After that it's just figuring out the art of reading gear patterns and how to change them while still staying within specs. That's where the patience comes into play. Have fun! I personally love setting up gears, it's a fun challenge every time.
