What would you like to know? do you want one of us to call them and get more info for you?

They don't have stores or shops down under that sell gears and what not ?

We just get all incorrect info all the time.. guys have had heaps of hassles getting the right stuff, esp the D30A, places say, "Yes yes, we know its a D30a this is the right one" then, surprise surprise, they end up suppling a D30 IE wrong Pinion, wrong install kit. And then It all gets too hard for them , and they drop the ball and cry, and its for a Jeep, and a KJ Jeep at that, so that means an extra 50% mark-up. $3000.00 for ratios is maybe a little too much me thinks :wink:

Everytime we what something for a KJ down here, most think that they can rip us an extra a-hole in the process.

I want to know that these are the right gears, and that someone has ordered, recieved, and installed them, and that they work....

I'll have a chat to some of the other guys down here who have installed theirs, and some of the other guys that want to like me, and see if we can do a bulk buy....

Jsc7002 ,thanks Matey, we may very well be intouch in the near future, also may have a chat with corwyn about it too.

You Americans.....So lucky you make em over there..if only KJ parts were like Kangaroo's , you can't drive down the street without bumping into one here :lol:

I dont think anyone has installed them yet, but the pn is correct, and the pn on the site matches so they should be the correct gears.

The Motive gears that I got for the rear say "break in period required for gears", what will this take for the break in period?

Yes there is break in period,it's also called "heat cycling" which will make your gears live/last longer.Oh and don't forget to change the diff fluids after the first 500miles,do it right and pull the covers off(rear diff)and clean all the junk out.

the rear is a 29 spline. If you go through some of the previous pages I have linked all of the pages for everything you need to go a regear with the lowest prices I could find and still use quality products.

27 or 29 spline has nothing to do with the gear set,it only comes into play for a locker/LSD.

So I run Amsoil all around, should I run it ffor the first 500 then change and continue to run it?

Also to heat cycle the front gears should 4 wheel drive be used?

I'd use just regular 80-90 gear oil for the 500 mile breakin then swap in the Amsoil unless you like dishing out the big $$$ to run Amsoil for only 500miles.Since the front diff is always turning even in 2wd no need to engage 4wd to break in the fronts,though it will take much longer to breakin the fronts but you'll be fine after the 1st 500miles to change gear lube and drive like normal.

I was doing some searching tonight and came across this
Chrysler 8.25" Gear and Locker Install (Incomplete)
that was found in this link. Might be some useful info in there.

KJ Willy · **Posted:** Fri Feb 06, 2009 5:57 pm

Recieved my front locker today and ordered the rear locker, I should have just ordered them both at the same time so I could go get it done.

Once I get the rear locker here I go find a place to install it all. Can't wait.
