Just ordered my new G2 4.88 gears for my 2011 JK. I'm
Running stock 3.21 now. With 35 inches tires. Yeah I know
No power at all and crappy gas mileage.
Should be here in a week or so. Hope to have them in
By next week. Josh is doing them for 825.00 everything out
The door, labor, Parts everything. I'm so excited to get better
than 10 miles to a gallon. I'll kee you all posted on how it turns out.

I'm running 488s in mine, gas mileage is still around 14-15, but it does have some climbing power.

Bill Moore will probably be snowed in at the top of the first chute. We tried it in June last year and still lots of snow, click here (http://www.frontrange4x4.com/forums/showthread.php?13123-Red-Elephant-Mill-Creek-and-Bill-Moore-June-4th) to see run report

Figure a week or two into July if you want to get all the way to the lake.

Where is Josh located? I'm not doing 35's yet but the prices seem better than any other place around. What would be better 5.13's or 4.88's with a six speed JK 2010 Sport.

So I've had my gears in for about two hundred miles, and
They are doing great so far. No noise, or vibration.
I have only been in 4x4 once for a few miles on the highway.
I haven't went offroading yet! 500 miles, a fluid change and then
I will be ready to really test her out.
I would recommend josh he did a great job, took
Him about 5 hrs to do. 825.00 parts labor out the door.
Seeing his garage at home you know he does a lot of axles, gears.
I am glad I went with 4.88 I do a lot of highway driving this is
My daily driver. If I didn't drive on the road much I would of gotten
The 5.13s

Glad to hear it went well. I just got a ford 8.8 rear axle, gears front and rear and a locker installed by Josh. Went wheeling yesterday and everything held up great with no issues.
