Just got my gears and install kit. The gear is a thin cut according to the box and says it's for the 4.56 and up carrier. Since I have a 4.10 in my front 60 am I screwed?

I think you're screwed. You'll need a new carrier.

Swapped out the stock PS pump for a Saginaw pump today. I'm installing a cooler since I've already got it apart. Napa only had 3 foot of hose so I still need 3 more feet to finish it.

Nice! I need one of those once I did hydro assist.

I found out I can get a spacer that spaces the ring gear to a thick gear size for like 40 bones.

Oh nice! I'm thinking about adding hydro assist to it too. I have a 77 highboy in my field that I could rob it off. I'm not sure if I will or not but I'm thinking about it.

Shoot that sounds like the way to go! Would you have to buy longer bolts or is it a minuscule amount?

Well it looks like I will be spending some time in Reno now. Just started dating a gal from down here but now lives in Reno.
I'll be pulling the ranger up there this fall to do some wheeling. I'll be checking out the rubicon...
I'm in the process of getting my tow rig road worthy so after that I'll be up there wheeling.
Hopefully I'll have it done and registered the beginning of September.

If anyone wouldn't mind being my tour guide that'd be great! I'm kinda leery about wheeling alone. Never know when something bad is going to happen...
