East Coast Gear and Supply has good prices on gear sets, I've bought a bunch of stuff from them for my buggy. If you have any questions, give them a call.

When I was a kid working in the garage/junk yard I workied at on weekends and summers I tried to put a new gear set in a rear end of a work van...there is an art to it, I was not an artists.

But these days there will be a video on Youtube showing you how to do it right.

I've never done it right but I have halfassed it several times on beaters and trail only rigs..... So far only one had a horrible meltdown out of about 10....

If you've never done it I would strongly suggest finding a pro or an experienced helper.

If you do choose to ignore that advice (like I have lol) remember that a lot too loose while not good is WAY better than the slightest bit too tight.

Im so pumped, been wanting one of these newer center consoles for a looooong time. I found a guy parting out a 2003 Sierra on craigslist and gave him $30 for it. I already had a spare cubby to remove the tape deck. I have a couple 12volt USB outlets and regular sockets coming off of Fleabay to add to it as well. I spent some time on the road this weekend and BOY is it nice to have REAL cup holders. Its it temporarily right now till I finish up wiring and trim work.
