Thanks for the heads up. I have been reading it over and over lol. Task seems daunting but I want to try it out and see what happens.Make sure you check out @chevymitchell ’s threads on swapping gears. May help it make it a little smoother.
I should be available this weekend. Shoot me a call or text if you need something. 336-442-9463.So @JLUin818 and I are going to attempt to change my stock sport S gears to 4.88s.
If anyone that has experience wants to drop by when we have everything taken apart to help with the gear assembly that would be great.
Or if anyone wants to just join to hang out and try to make it work they are welcome to.
If it works on mine he will be doing his as well probably another weekend.
Probably at his place in Northwest LA area.
It went ok. Not as smooth as I had hoped since I had to figure a few things out and didn't have all the tools at first.Any update on how the regear install went? I may be making a switch to 5.13s in the near future and am probably going to find a local shop but would be interested in how the garage install went.
On a related note, anyone with a recommendation for a regear shop in Riverside, CA area?
expensive it is! lol. do you plan to pull a trailer? just curious why you chose 5.13 over 4.88OK, so I just made an appointment to get regeared to 5.13 with Premier West Gears in Riverside (I live in Riverside so it is really convenient!). Earliest appointment was April 23rd so that will be the magic day.

Price was actually $1498.13 total including tax. I need to get a Tazer to reprogram but I was getting one already. They have their own shop so I don't need to find on for the mobile guys.
Oh yeah, I ordered my new 17" rims and 37" KO2s today as well! A very expensive day!!
I have read a few posts here that say 5.13 is the sweet spot for running 37s on the JL with the 8 speed.expensive it is! lol. do you plan to pull a trailer? just curious why you chose 5.13 over 4.88
Zeebo went with 4.88 and with the 37s it feels like the sweet spot. when it was on 35s with the 4.88s it was revving a bit high, which i found annoying myself.
I would go with the 5.13s if you plan on doing some towing for sure. You will be happy with them all around.I have read a few posts here that say 5.13 is the sweet spot for running 37s on the JL with the 8 speed.

I also might get a trailer to do some camping and road trips with the wife.
There's a guy named Robert in Anaheim Hills that does gears out of his house on weekends and I paid $900 parts and labor. His garage is full of gear sets and he told me he can do 2 jeep's per day. He's done 2 of mine.OK, so I just made an appointment to get regeared to 5.13 with Premier West Gears in Riverside (I live in Riverside so it is really convenient!).
