    Yep. PRP Enduro Recliner w/ Adjustable Headrest. I definitely recommend get reclining seats. The fixed backs are nice, but not that much fun in a daily.

    Be aware how high the hip cushions are. They can be a pain to get out of when driving a daily. The PRP Enduro Recliner look like a way better option for daily driving.

    Anyone interested in OME 881’s with 2k miles on them? I need to upgrade to 883. Or anyone with 883 would like to trade? 1st Gen. (Still in the truck).

    If you're doing 33s 4.88.

    35s or 37s (auto or manual) do 5.29, @Fernando and @Blackdawg and I will tell you this. The install is very straightforward. I did 4.88 on 35s and kind of regret it, but ecgs is what I used and I did the core swap. It's not hard at all man, don't pay a shop, especially for the rear, I removed the transmission for the front because I figured it was easier and wanted to look at the rear main seal which was leaking. I went 4.88 with 5sp because I plan on twin cases using a 4.7 gears set and wanted lower rpm on long drives but 5.29 is better for normal driving with 35s. Honestly you can do the rear with little to no mechanical aptitude.

    Thanks for the positive encouragement. I plan on staying on 33s. You know what…I’ll just muster up and attempt this. I’d probably go the core exchange route with ECGS. I talked to them and they said if I do it soon I’d get it back around mid March as they are backed up to mid Feb with orders as of this week.

    Did you have a trick for the front diff? I was having a hard time with the large Allen bolt part on the trans housing.

    Where's he stuck at? His rigs fairly capable so he might be able to to the cool thing. Self-recover.
