A lesson learned—keep it light and nimble!

I found a set of 5.13 take-out Dana 44 thick cut gears if you like.
I ordered hp30 5.13 gears in May and I am still waiting. Of all the delayed parts it seems like revolution has been hit the worst.
Not really. I think they are the ones out of one of my axles in which case very low miles and little off roading.
I talked to them today and the guy I spoke with was straight up. He said the XJ HP stuff doesn't sell like the JK 30s, so those get production priority. I'm not going to hold my proverbial breath there!
Revolution is not the only one. A majority of the gear companies Dana included use factories in India and covid made a real mess over there.
I kept hearing Blaine's voice in my head saying "don't be a dumb ass and check your parts", so I opened up the RubiCrawler box to do an inventory. Although I haven't inventoried the small parts bag, everything else is there.
Having been a while since installing the previous one, I forgot how well built this thing is!

I wouldn't expect anything to be missing on the big part. The shifter assembly OTOH, not so much.
Now that you mention it, they had to ship me something that was missing on mine. Can’t recall what though.

If they're from LiftKits4Less, they don't actually have them in stock. I ordered a Revolution kit from them in August. I contacted Revolution directly in November, and they didn't know when they'd be getting product. LK4L didn't respond to the last 3 efforts I made to contact them this month, so I filed a claim through PayPal and got my money back.

Now that I printed off the instructions, I'll be opening the small parts bag and doing a complete inventory this coming weekend!
I found a front HP Dana 30 Nitro 5.13 set in stock, which should be here Wednesday. My search also yielded a rear Motive Dana 44 set, but I haven't seen a ship date on those, so I'm going to follow up with a call.
Is Nitro supposed to be good stuff? I'm trying to find either 5.13 or 5.38 thick cut rubicon gears, but RG doesn't have them or install kits at this time.
