Made an appointment with a set few days for someone else to touch my Jeep and install the 4.56s. This $4000 for gears/labor and tires better be worth it haha.

Holy cow!!! Regearing usally runs 1100-1500. How much are your tires!

You're right, the labor for the regear is $1185. I'm getting Pro Comp MT2s which are $1250 plus the mount/balance. The gears/kits are another $1000 plus $150 for warranty.

Come on Powerball!!!

New bull bar and lights!

That's pretty much what I want to do on my KK. Which Bull Bar did you go with??

I went cheap, I didn't see paying the big price for a westin when its gonna get scratched up and probably repainted a dozen times or so over its life, so I found one on ebay from Black Horse Off Road. Got it for 184 with free shipping.

NAM: Your gas mileage is gonna hate you with the tire up there. Hopefully you get some mileage back when you regear. That tire will cost you at least 2 mpg up there.

Paying $1.79 for gas, I can live with that haha. So far the weight hasn't been noticed but that is also the stock steel spare with a Firestone Destination LE2 (free full spare, don't judge). With the matching spare 265/75 up there I might notice it haha.

Try to see what your mpg is next time you fill up with a full tank running like that.
I'm excited for ya to get those gears done. That's good stuff.

I'd kill for those prices. Gas went up to $2.25. It's a good deal, but it's cheap gas no matter where you go. It seems everyone is burning through it. I'm averaging 11mpg, my girlfriend is getting 19 compared to her 22-23mpg. These are both highway commutes too...

Expect about $2500 for parts and labor! Since you just got new tires you'll be fine haha.

Just placed my order today for a set of 245 75 16 Cooper Discover ATR. Finally getting off my wheelbarrow wheels

JeepMonkey190 · **Posted:** Thu Feb 05, 2015 6:47 pm

Congrats Collin

That seems pretty high NAM, I got a quote the other day for $1600 all parts, labor, and comes with warranty.

Nothing wrong with that, I understand for sure. How do you like it so far? If you don't mind me asking, how much & where did you get the Hella lights?

What brand gears are they selling you? These guys only do Yukon gears and are a specially off road enthusiast shop.

Installed my OEM Hitch today. It's way too cold to do the harness though, 17 degrees here today. I'll wait for a warmer day, now to go stay inside and thaw out.

just placed an order for a Wilson 2000 antenna. its a very small up grade from my firestick... :roll:

that antenna will still be on the jeep... dual antenna! the Wilson wil be on the passenger side and the firestick will be most likely on the driver side same mounting spot as the passenger side. still not 100% sure that's where I want it to go.

Installed my flowmaster super 44 today. Cut the old out bolted the new in. No issues at all. Not as loud as i expected but it sounds good outside! Can't really hear it inside. Thinking i might cut the resonator off

I saw a lifted charcoal gray KK in Newtown, PA today. It was running 32's, but I couldn't tell what kind of lift kit it had as it passed me.

I grinned at the driver and gave him the thumbs up, but I don't think he saw me. Does the gray KK belong to anyone on here?
