I actually already bought the UCA's from Carl. Excited to get them on!!!!

Have you guys had good luck with your ARB lockers? Any issues?

jg

I rely on my ARB front locker often...it has performed without issue. In fact some day I'll have an '06 or '07 to mod and I look forward to having an ARB locker in the rear too! The OEM e-locker is OK...but the ARB locks almost instantaneously after you flip the switch and unlocks as quickly.

Maybe as important as who makes the gears: Have someone that is very experienced with off-road diff set-up do the R&P set-up. While you're doing the diff work it would be a good time to extend the diff/t-case and tranny breathers.

And if you are worried about strength for whatever reason you can have whichever R&P gears you select cryo'd for that extra layer of assurance. Personally I think it is overkill on a hundy...

And be sure to follow a break-in conditioning process for your new gears once you get them...just in case you don't know.
