I want to regear and add lockers

[A. Paul]

Hi, fellow Calgarian here, I'd recommend having the gears installed by a professional, unless you or a friend have experience in doing such work. Locally 4WP or Broken Axle are both reputable shops that are experienced in installing aftermarket equipment such as gears.

Yes, I will be giving it to a shop. Ive done all the work on my TJ up to this point but i just movewd here have none of my tools shipped here yet so ill be just giving it to 4wheelparts to do the job

Will they warranty the gear set you are giving them?

Im buying the parts from 4wp and getting them to do the work.

Then I definitely would have the installing shop provide EVERY part on one invoice. Don't give them any parts whatsoever. If there are any problems during or after the installation they'll blame your parts. They will only warranty their labor and you will be faced with replacing/providing replacement parts.

If they provide everything their warranty will cover everything with no questions asked.

Edit: So long as you're buying the parts from the installing shop you should be ok.

Man it almost worked. I have tears in my eyes I’m laughing so hard.

You are going to like the 4:88s. I have 4:88s with 33s and love it. I am coming from 3:73 to 4:88s and it was pretty amazing. I can't even imagine coming from 3:07. You will probably will feel like a whole new car. I too am running lockers front and rear. Only difference is I am running Eaton E-lockers front and rear. I had ARB's front and rear on my YJ, but decided to give the Eatons a go.

Good luck; keep us posted. I can't wait to hear about your first drive after you get it back!
