I finally sold my jet ski and with the money I decided Id get a DTT for the front and new tires and save the rest, So I was wondering how hard is it to install the DTT in the front?

Im pretty excited to finally start getting some more mods done to the KJ, I have on order a DTT for the front, new M/T tires, and FINALLY starting to get it completely bedlined!!

I would find a good shop close by that can do it and drop it out yourself, (save some coin) and have them go at it. Pop it back in and be good to go!

okay I just ordered the DTT, I looked at two places one National Drivetrain for $487 Shipped and the other was 4Wheel Parts for $387 shipped lol there was a little price difference

I know I dont have to add any friction modifier, but would it help it any if i did or is it just a waste of money?

It would not help.

Use a good lube, like Amsoil, and call it good.

It's not necessarily hard but it is a bit labor intensive. If you dont have the technical knowledge in setting up a ring and pinion i wouldn't recommend it. Like someone else said take the housing out and bring it to a shop and just have them set it up. You'll save on labor since it has to come out anyway. :wink:
