I will bring my propane heater.

So, what was the point of the propane heater???? We all just hung around/worked with the garage doors open freezing our butts off anyway!!! :goink:

Yea, I know. when all 3 garages were occupied there wasn't room need to keep some distance between the heat and the vehicles.

Just means I use the propane tomorrow in my garage.

Going to kick my whole 2nd Family's ***, i'm gone 9 days, same tire as usual on the eclipse is driven to work, flat, now flat and off bead. The ranger's driver is certain the alternator is fried, because "the light on the battery" is "Green" yet.. it keeps knocking off and now won't turn over. Knocking off at a stoplight generally means the battery is weak..KJ'ers know this ****. Told him 2 months ago the battery was bad.. Sent instructions on how to use the battery charger, driver must have stayed at a holiday inn express and became a mechanic over night because they're "certain" it's not the battery so they took the focus (which has a may-pop tire that leaks air through the belts) to work and now no one can go fix the tire on the eclipse...

Seriously???

My foot may fail to engage the brake when I get back.. just so I can have the pleasure of driving over top of them all...

[I can't tell a huge difference from the 3.73's... I used to have to add 10% to my mph to compensate for the bigger tires, and the regear bumped that back down to about 5%... but my RPM's on the interstate are higher.

Are the shift points better? That was the biggest change I saw was that I shifted right at 45 and 55 with the 4.10's. With the 3.73's the shift point was higher so I was often running at higher RPM's, wouldn't downshift at those speeds.

Jayme, Can you get a rough estimate of total spent on gathering up the stuff for your gears? I want to see if what Bob will charge for a full install with him sourcing gears is gonna be a good deal for those in this area.

I know what he is saying is almost what I paid just for my install.

KJ Willy · **Posted:** Tue Mar 15, 2011 8:34 pm

Well if anyone is interested in the regear, he is set at around $1200 for the parts and the install.

You just have to give him time to find and track down the parts and make sure you specify that they are for the dana 30a and be able to leave him your Jeep for 3-4 days.

I paid $1100 just for the install on mine. I sourced out all the parts prior to and paid aroud $600+ for all the parts.

Man I wish I would have found him 2 years ago.

KJ Willy · **Posted:** Tue Mar 15, 2011 8:36 pm

He also does alot of fab work, I have seen some of his tube bumpers for TJ and there are pretty stout.
