Default Gears finally installed!

So after 6 months of looking at my gears in the boxes I finally was able to get them installed and absolutly love them!! It feels like the jeep can actually get out of its own way now hahaha i had superior 5.13's installed on my 08' auto 2dr with 35s. I knew the gas mileage was going to suck but whatever haha being able to actually get up hills and pass people without being "that guy" on the highway is well worth the slight drop of mpg.

Congrats! I love my 5.13's and went with Superior as well (that is what the installer required).

My mpg actually went UP due to the engine not working as hard pushing my minivan around.

I've had mine since february. Have about 2000 miles on them since they were done. I drove carefully for the first 500 or so miles to break them in, changed the diff oil and then took her off-road. The 5.13's paired with the Rubi transfer case made 4-lo "wicked" awesome.

Glad I did it as it has made the Jeep more fun to drive and the extra mpg is a nice bonus with the high gas prices.
