I just had Revolution 5.13's put in a few weeks ago. Going in tomorrow for my 500 mile diff oil change, and new diff covers.
Oil change is included in the regear price, and they are going to put on the new diff covers (Metalcloak) at the same time. Should take about an hour.
You won't be...
Thanks for all the great advice and info on this forum.
Had to slow drive the backroads from Idaho, but well worth it.

Rebel Off Road has the one in your pic. Says it works with up to a 37" tire though.

You know, because this is a Gladiator forum. FFS
Orange Locktite gel is the new craze. The strength of red, with the removeability of blue.

I didn't, but I should have.
I ordered a quick connect/disconnect kit.
The power lead rubbed through the loom and the insulation and found the nearest place to short out.
Pricey lesson learned that could have ended a lot worse.
Thanks for the kind words.
SHORTED OUT WINCH WIRE!!
Smoked both batteries, and smoked a big fuse in the fuse box. No other damage.

Thanks for all your advice.
