What do i need for regearing and installing a locker?

[cabledog25]

OK well im trying to get everthing together for my regearing and installation of locker. So what all do i need to change everything out (besides the obvious gears and locker)?

[valpacer]

Probably a bearing and seal kit for diff, new fluid. And a ratio change from the dealer or mechanic in the TCM.

Ill be getting a hypertech programer for the the tires so i can use that to also adjust for the new gears too, right? and what brand fluid do yall recomend? this is my first time doing anything this so really dont know much of what im doing and ill be taking it to a shop to get it installed.

Hypertech speedometer calibrator, complete front differential out of a 4.7 liter XK, your locker of choice, motive gear Chrysler 8.25 ring and pinion set and mobil 1 75w 140. That is everything. Which locker do you plan on going with?

[cabledog25]

well since mine is only 2wd i dont have to worry about the front diff, and ill be putting 4.10 gears and also putting in a powertrax no slip

Pretty much as everyone mentioned: Gears, Locker, Master install kit, fluid and programmer.

4.10s are going to be awesome in there

[cabledog25]

yeah thanks everybody, im talking to a few shops near my base back in Georgia trying to find the best price for the install, and hopefully within abut 2 weeks after i get back to the states ill have it all installed for a trip when i get back home to Arkansas.

thanks

Rear diff takes just over 2 quarts... like 2.1 quarts so you'd probably be OK with 2, but i'd get 3 quarts.

AMSOIL 75W140 is what i recommend.

[cabledog25]

Just placed the order for the locker, ring and pinion, and the berring and seal kit. in a few weeks ill order the fluid (decided to go with the mobil 1) and the programer. My plans is to make this the Baddest 2wd jeep. I think im off to a decent start LOL

[07JeepXK]

Sorry, totally forgot you were 2wd

[cabledog25]

Haha its all good, i plan on getting it to the point where i go out on trails with people and they forget im only 2wd also

[christiang26]
