No luck yet as I am short on cash. Yes I do need both ring and pinion gear. My buddy works for Brandon Dodge and is going to help me out with the install. As for Lokey Trucks, if they are out of business good. I had them build my last Jeep and Mike Lokey jerked me around every step of the way. He talked a good game, but in the end screwed alot of people out of a lot of money! I used to do their spray in bed liners, so I spent a good deal of time there and saw it first hand, but I was so far into my built that the only way my Jeep was leaving there was in pieces. The only way to be sure anything got done how you wanted was to just camp out there. Now I do everything myself (except gears). If it is going to get F'ed up, I want the satisfaction of doing it myself! Sorry to rant, but that guy is a PRICK!

they were a hack shack! only guys worth a damn there were Christian... who now works for Xtreme Jeep and Harry. Harry was going to buy out Lokey but Mike thought the place was worth waaaay more than it was.... life goes on. The only thing I had them do was install a lift on my tundra and th murdered my leaf pack. Obviously the wrong AAL (too long) I took it back and they cut wheeled the AAL while installed on the truck cutting into the overload in the process

Dude, I could tell you all stories from first hand experience that would really piss you off. Tom Lokey (The actual owner and Mikes Dad) was cool as hell. He just needed to take the silver spoon out of Mikes mouth and shove his foot in his ass! I saw him get pissed off at his dad one day and through a tow shackle at him. He used to throw tantrums (sp) like a 4 year old.
Yes, I PM'd the guy about the gears. Haven't herd anything yet.
