No RM I havent. I really want to run 315s (35") but will not without changing them. Id like to go to 4.56s one day but right now the 33's arent that bad. A little more shifting on hilly rides to the hunting camp that I care for but its pretty flat where I live and drive 90% of the time.


Have you ever changed gears front and rear in one? Looking at Yukon Gears it looks like I can do it for around 6-800 parts. Installing myself of course.

If you want it quiet, stick with AAM. I have done them(did the ones in my BURB). Setting up the front IFS is a PITA! IMHO. 10 bolts aren't to bad to do, been awhile since I did one.

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.

Thumbs up

Sharp looking truck Stink. That's they way they should look from the factory I think.

You got a front mounted receiver hitch? If so what brand? I really need one I think.

I built it bud. Love it...use it for my basket or to winch. Have my winch on a removable mount that I can use front or rear.

It looks much nicer to me, I like the black out look.
Now your a freakin' painter?? Nothing you can't do.
Which somehow reminds me of the old Electrolux vacuum cleaners. Anyone ever paint with one of those? Not a big derail I hope...
