LOVE IT I got it done at Expert on 4x4 in Mcallen, they charged me 400 for labor on both axels combined. I bought the parts from Dave at Northridge 4x4 (master overhaul kit) for 425... Altogether the gear project came out to 825, and worth every penny! I also installed my LoD rear bumper w/ Gen 3 tire carrier, rear halogen backup lights, ARB shackles, Switch Pod, and Power distribution center! Awesome week for the Jeep, I was happy with everything I got installed this round


Fastrat: 5.13's and loving it!

Thanks!!! Still more mods to come There's also a guy in Brownsville that has an ad on Craigslist that will do labor for 150 per axel, 300 total. Don't have any experience with him though, but since he's in your area you might want to check it out, his shop I called Baja off road. I did my research here on this forum, two most popular ratios for automatics with 35s are 5.13 and 4.88. There's a big debate on which ones are better, it depends how and where you drive. Do you research but I love my 5.13 !
