So I dropped off the Jeep, gears and lockers yesterday and was told it should be ready by Thursday pm.
I got a call today at noon and was told the Jeep was done and ready for pickup.
I hustled my ass down there and picked it up.
OMFG!!! the 5.13's are awesome. Acceleration is back. RPM' s are up. No vibes, no howling, no whining. Couldn't be happier with the gear ratio.
The Yukon Grizzlies seem to be pretty cool too. I'll reserve my full review till a few more miles down the road, but for now I am impressed.
I was mentally prepared for lurching, clicking, and clanking; but I am pleasantly surprised by how well behaved they are. I am still in the break-in process, so I am treating them gently, but they seem to behave very smoothly. We'll see as time progresses. I am happy and relieved for now....
I have the day off tomorrow. I'll spend the day driving the Jeep around all day and get it through the break-in.
I can't wait to hit the trails!
If you squint and zoom in, you can see the new gears and lockers.

Cheers to Fearless Gear in Fresno! If you are in central Cali and need gears, i can't recommend these guys enough.
