    Wow....


    I don't know what your problem is.. maybe you had a bad day at high school or something, but you giving us an attitude is not helping anything. I was ready to buy gears and a front ARB locker because it is a good deal and I know I will be getting bigger tires in the spring, but because you told me to get a prius.. I don't care how cheap the shit is.. I'm not going to buy it through your group buy.

    I know organizing a group buy can be a hassle, you get a lot of dumb questions and a lot of people waste your time, but that does not constitute you talking to people like that.




    and as for this:

    IDK if thats supposed to be directed at me, but thats the reason I called and spoke to you and told you what I wanted to do. The first time we talked you made me feel like yea.. 4.56 gears would get me back to 18 mpg and i'd have better power. then the second time we talked I told you the same things I told you the first time and your comment was "well it sounds like you don't know what you want to do."
    well... I know I want better gas mileage.. and after our first conversation, you had me believing that this was the answer. Is that me not knowing what I want to do, or is that a consumer asking an "expert" for a professional opinion and some help in making a purchase?

    i worded the gps sentence wrong, i meant if you use a gps you get real world mileage because if you change tire size your odometer is off.

    if you dont want to get in on this deal then thats up to you.

    gears do give you better mpg depending on what gears you get and what tire size you are running.

    i like how everyone always brings how young i am into an argument. very valid:rolleyes:

    Just so everyone knows.. 2005 + EVERYONE without the E-Locker has the "8.4"!!

    Technically it's still an 8" rear end but the reason they call it the "8.4" is because of the larger (More standard) components inside the diff. The E-Lockers are actually weaker than the others because of this reason. That had to accommodate the size of the components inside to make room for the e-locker components.

    If you don't believe me or just want to learn a little more about all of this then read this site below!!

    Hey guys,

    Do you need a shop to put in the Nittro gears? I'm debating a powertrax no slip locker, which I've heard is easy to install.

    So is it possible to do the regear and locker install or is the regear specific and need a shop meaning I'd just have them do the whole install?

    Thx
