    Hey, @Supr4Lo
    Went a novelty for me this morning-a 4x4 store! Got to fondle 5.29s and other neat stuff. What was you break in like? Is it worth the cost for the gears that are ready to run in your opinion?

    Sounds like a good time! what did you buy?

    Here is the recommended break in procedure from ECGS https://eastcoastgearsupply.com/ft-1479-new-gear-break-in-procedure.html
    Break in on the gears wasn't too terrible, just took a long time because I don't put that many miles on. For me I had the time and do mostly sort trips so didn't even consider REM polishing. I wound say if you need to drive any distance regularly before the 500 mile break in, or have to tow then getting the gears REM polished might be worth it.

    No problem! That's what forum friends are for, helping fellow members spend their money, transporting parts, and helping work on vehicles :D

    Ehrmagerd someone pause time and space, I need like another couple days before Tigerton. I procrastinate too much lol! Gonna be a coin flip if I get the 33’s fit up, I don’t want to rush it and smash fenders and things. Should’ve done it sooner but still getting things done.
