Buddy who was a body and paint guy earlier I life is doing a scuff-n-spray raptor line job for me on my WJ. We agreed that he wouldn't blow it apart and wouldn't fix minor dings, but would make sure the existing paint was taken down far enough that there wouldn't be issues with adherence and...

I live in the mountains, about 7k feet above sea level. 97 4.0, AX-15 with 4.88's and 35's. I take my jeep offroading, but also won't hesitate to jump in it and drive 5 hours to get to a trail or hunting spot. I can keep it at 75 on the interstate in the flats, but pulling a hill I have to...

After just doing a full regear myself, good luck! I ain't the guy, but there are several here who can give you good advice. Again, good luck!

Excellent! I've been pleased with mine. Sample size of one and all that, but it's been a good product for me.

I'll add that while the ship time might be a little long, I ordered my JB SS Sye and when it came in, it sat in my shop for months before I got around to installing it. When I was putting everything together, I realised that they forgot the Hall sensor in the kit. I emailed them on the weekend...

Today, I DROVE my Jeep! Its been down since early spring with diffs that finally grenaded on me. Saved up cash, watched some BFH garage videos, and tackled setting up gears. Installed Yukon Zip lockers front and back while I was in there, and fixed the parking brakes too. I just got done with...

To wrap this up, I went back to the setup in post #68 per @hosejockey61 suggestion. Everything is in spec, torqued and loctite'd per spec, and final install happened this afternoon. Locker works as it should with an air compressor blowing into the line orifice, so everything should be good! And...

Awesome! Im happy to have it dialed in (at least reasonably so)! Tomorrow is the only day me and the wife have off together, but Friday, ill finish it up and try to get this axle back under the jeep! Thanks so much for your help, @hosejockey61 ! I really appreciate all the interpretation!

How's this?

Pinion: .064 Driver: .185 Passenger: .115 B/L: .009

I'll add a very little bit and see what I got. Stay tuned!😃

Alright, new shims came in, here's patter #6! Pinion: .063 (and a half) Driver: .185 Passenger: .115 B/L: .009 I tried to get the gear pattern compound less runny this time. I can try again if it is still too runny. Yukon shim pack had didnt have a lot of variety either, but i was able to get...

I'll try to do better on the compound next time!

Yeah, the last pattern i ran was .065, and the 2nd pattern i ran was .060. Shims ordered from Yukon! They'll be here Tuesday it says, which happens to be my last day of work this week, so next pattern will be posted Wednesday afternoon! Thanks again for all the help.

Im trying to be patient, I really am. But my Jeep has been down since early spring while I tried to find time to tackle this. Being this close is making me antsy!🤣🤣🤣 I keep telling myself "dont rush this. Take your time and do it right!:
