That is turning out really nice. I'm sure you can't wait to get it re-geared. Nice sunshade to, LOL! I know you say you are a second shift person; do you work in Georgetown?

Good deal, glad you are about to get it wrapped up. I work at Toyota here in Georgetown. I was a second shifter for 11 years here, been on first for almost 7.
Sometimes I miss second, it seemed like I had more time to do stuff around the house and tinker in the garage. You guys will have to give a ride report of the
turtle, I've never been there. When are you all planning on going to Windrock?

Karmy what did you say you were regearing to??

I just had mine done this weekend. Went from 3.73s to 4.88. I drove about 200 miles one direction to get it done but damn was it worth it. Great price, great people and great weather.

Whether it was a screw up on my end, or 4wd's is yet to be determined lol. It just bothers me that I had spent a lot of time on the phone with these guys making sure I had the right parts, clarifying what my year and trim level was, and telling them what I intended to do. Yet there was still a screw up because apparently the g2 master install kit we used had the wrong pinion bearing size along with a few other things that were wrong. Luckily there were left over parts from a yukon install kit so we were able to get the job done.

Now I've got some balls back on the highway - I can pass a car in sixth gear again and actually go the speed limit.
I'm real excited to test out my Truetrac in the front. Having LSDs all around will be nice I think!

One thing that I made sure to do when we were riding home was to stop every 50 miles for about 20 minutes to let the diffs cool down. I just waited until it was cool enough that I could keep my hand on it. I also threw it in 4wd before I got on the highway this morning to make sure everything was good up front. No problems so far!

Good luck with yours!
