Default 3.73's are IN!!!

my buddy and me installed my 3.73's yesterday afternoon. As soon as they were done we slapped a pair of slicks mounted on some stock lx rims and went and had some fun around town. [sm=gears.gif] I love my new gears and if anyone is debating on getting them - Do it!!

Didn't we tell you that you would love those gears??? What took you so long to get them? LOL
don't you worry about the cops stopping you for running slicks on the street?

So him installing them himself and having no problems at all, basically proves 99% of the people on this forum wrong when they say "OMFGZORZ DONT DO GEARS YOURSELF YOU WILL BLOW UP YOUR REAR END WITHOUT A DOUBT!!!!"
