Moving to 40s and have to regear...and my DIY skills end there so for the first time have to pay a shop to install anything on my Jeep While they got it apart I need them to Truss it and might as well install the new shafts, replace bearings, and upgrade steering. First quote today, does it really take 10 hours for gear swap? Rest donā€™t seem too far off, not sure about welding hours either. What you all think

If your going to Truss it then why get the 2 piece front axles? I would get rid of the FAD and go with the blockoff plate and 1 piece axles shaft. Im not sure about the hours for the gear install but 10 hours for both Front & Rear combined doesnt sound to bad, especially if that also includes the break-in process.

Take a look here:

Then decide. Lol. Between the tooling cost, experience and how important a proper install is, 10 hours is a steal.

Thatā€™s not to far off, itā€™s 1500-2000 for gears around here. This is probably my next major move, and Iā€™m going back and forth on doing it or having it done. šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø

I did this a while ago, but just finally sorted out the pics. Installed RK long arm /3 link rear upgrade kit and wanted to post here some of things I learned and would do a little different if had it to do over. I just wanted to possibly help out the next guy. Itā€™s in my build thread but not everyone looks at those, EVERYONE looks in hereā€¦ā€¦.lol.

Ok, that's it! I'm calling RPM 1st thing Monday morning and giving them a piece of my mind. Not only did I not get anti wobble for my drag link, but no fucking nerds!

...the Harley is the Pan American and there isn't any accesories for it anyway right now.
Stay tuned. It's only a matter of time before Touratech introduces their new line of aluminum baubles for the Gravel Glideā„¢. ;)

Check for water leaks. A friend installed his and found leaks during heavy rainfall.

Installed Oracle Oculus Bi-LED Headlights & Foglights; and the Hammerhead Ravager Bumper. I wasn't crazy amount the Hammerhead plate so I switched it out with a nice "Jeep" logo. The LED is a 20" 11k lumens Zilla Light Bar. Added the Warn Fairlead (winch coming soon...) along with the GearAmerica UBER Bow Shackles.
