The problem is in the civy world there are two carriers, one for 2:73 and down and one for 3:08 and up, the HMMWV uses the 2:73 and down for all applications and the 2:73 and down carrier is rare in the aftermarket world, as almost nobody uses a gear ration that low.

Thanks guys. Yeah, didn't do my research well enough (or much at all in this case). Luckily, I'm good at learning the hard way!

Thought about the Lincoln Locker, but I'm gonna go ahead and gear it. The LS planned for it will probably like the low gears and I've been wasting lots of time recently sleeping at night when I could be working on the Humvee more.

Dang, I guess I will not be getting those pumpkins!!

I've got 3 torsen diffs and about to have 2 3.08 gear sets if you want any of it?

For some reason I thought you had 2.73 gears, back when you were planning complete axle swaps I was hoping to get those diffs.
I appreciate the offer but I was looking for 2:73 diffs.

If I'm not mistaken those rigs use a thick cut gear on the lower ratio (numerically) case .
I'm betting someone make a thick cut higher ratio (numerically) gear for the original case, that being said you should be able to lunchbox the carrier and run a set of thick cut gears in whatever flavor you want, or a full locker for the old 2.73 ratio and thick gears .

For me a locker in the back and a spool in the front works very well in rocks as long as you can disco the front axle from the cab .

Machined the lockers down so I could use them with the humvee 3.08 gears. Took 0.090in off the ring gear side bearing seat to allow it to press on further.


Rear installed. Front done as well, but didn't grab a pic.


Rear bag over shocks installed. Excited to try these out.
