    Haha that would not be a pain in the ass but more of a mess on the ass.

    No awning going on the truck. I personally dont like the look. Love the function. OBA is already OB.

    Front and Rear lockers with gears will be soon on their way providing tax man doesnt bend me over the wrong direction.

    Also more goodies for the front end and some interior coming soon.

    Who is the best choice to use for gears? ECGS? Just differentials? Who has used who? Whats pricing and workmanship like?

    Bradyt88 used ecgs I know for his 4.88's. he runs his truck really hard and their work has held up great, cant remember which gears (yukon or nitro, one of those is no good tho...). He did the core swap, said it worked out well.

    I keep forgetting your stock with 35's surprised it doesn't drive you nuts. But I've hear nothing but good things from ECGS regardless if you just buy the ring and pinion or do the exchange.

    ECGS is who Jamie used as well. I am leaning that way but before the trigger gets pulled I wouldnt mind hearing more feedback! Thanks for the info. Core swap sure makes it a fairly easy install. Fronts a bit of a pain.

    Its not too bad for road use at all really. The annoying part is not being geared low enough on the trails.

    No just stock thought you might need a front diff to send to ecgs, but I see your set lol.

    Nice. Nothing wrong with scoring good deals for cheap! That's quite the resolution on that puppy.

    Yeah thats a good reminder though. I forgot I had the spare until now haha. I will probably send the core after we install the new. Thats what Jamie did with Daisy anyhow. Seemed to work out.

    Can't beat the 5 year warranty on their diff's either. ARB's come with 5 now as well.

    I used ECGS as well for my locker. Awesome service, very polite and helpful. I called at 7am are time and by 7:10am they had the work order done up, my receipt emailed and a tracking number came that same day. All said and done it took 4 days from ordering to installing in my truck. I highly recommend them as well!

    How was it for shipping your core back? What do they refund for the cores?

    I would assume your talking to me haha. I didn't ship anything....I bought the locker by itself then set everything up in the garage. Still required removal of the ring gear, but differentials are easy peasy.

    When I shipped mine, I just put them in the same box they came in, and dropped it off at FedEx.
