Default Gears and locker this weekend... should I do seals?

Just realized the overhaul kits don't come with them. My jeep has 37k on it. I know it would be a good time to do them since we're in there already, but that means chasing them down somewhere (JK axle seals don't seem to be shelf items for most parts places around here) before Sunday.

Also, what gear lube do you guys use for break in? And how much for each diff?

Seals are cheap. Make some calls and find them.

Use a decent, cheap, dino oil for the break in. You are replacing in 500, so why spend money on it. No one gets the specified amount of oil in, so just do what you can.

bought a gallon of cheap coastal 80-90 from Advance Auto.

I wasn't worried about cost on the seals, just getting them here in time if they need to be ordered (being the weekend and all).

And with my miles, wasn't sure if it would matter anyway.
