My 2012 JK, 3.6 V6, 6-speed manual, 4.10 gears. Aftermarket air-lockers front and rear. 1.5" Terraflex springs, Fox shocks. I use the heck out of this rascal! Took it to Alaska and back last spring for a bear & wolf hunt. It's a great little rig. Guy

I did mine with trutracs front and back, 3.73's and 35X12.5-17 tires. IMO 4.10's would be the perfect setup for the 4 WD and daily driving I do. It works great as a daily driver pulling about 2200 rpm @70 mph but I really need low range in 4wd to make it "happy" in the mud.

When they did mine. They had to enlarge the holes on on the rear Trutrac to accept the larger gear carrier bolts Jeep uses. I called ETON and they said it was common practice and my only choice if I wanted to use it on the rear. I ran the rear Trutrac and one bolt over to a local machine shop and they enlarged the holes while I waited. I think I $40-$50 for the job. The front one bolted right up.

What do you haul on your jeep?? Rio7 Look at the smile on Ed too many letters face. That speaks volumes !
