Default Gears and locker Installed

I have a 2012 2dr auto on 35's. This past Christmas we installed a set of Yukon 4.88's (up from 3.21) and a rear ARB air locker (have a front lunchbox already). Finally got to take it out this past Saturday and I have to say I can not believe the difference these two mods made. Just the gears by themselves were huge, but also having the rear air locker was pretty awesome. Definitely a great upgrade.

This is next up on my build... Do you have an idea of the over-all budget after all was said and done?

I think when all was said and done, gears, air locker, new front carrier, and all the little things, maybe 2k. That was parts, I have a few mechanic buddies that do gears, so labor was a case of

You will not be disappointed!

Id pick up an ARB rear locker if I can find someone around me who knows what they're doing vs paying these outrageous cost around here. Someone wanted $400 just to install my beadlocks. I decided to do those myself.
