Regearing to 5.13

[wheels87k5]

While I've got the D60 and 14bff sitting on stands, I figured this would be the best oppurtunity to do my regear project.
I'm going to 5.13 and have checked out alot of stores.......and it seems that most, if not all, have the Thick 5.13 gears and very few have the standard 5.13 set.
Is there not that much in demand for the standard sets of that size that not every store carrys them? Just curious.

Uhm, I'm uncertain if there are any up for sale on any forums right now. but i know Keith Blazer, a member here just purchased a set of 5.13's a while back, they were used and a very good price. (he is NOT selling them)
My point is, if your willing to shop a little, you can save some coin. (damn, the new lingo my kid uses, just doesn't sound as good coming from me...)

I was able to find a couple of choices for both axles. And yes they are pricey. I guess it seems that there are more choices with the thick sets. Meaning the carrier split is 4.10/4.56 with the thick set for the 4.10 carrier.
I just found it odd that the availability of the standard sets was low.
I can get the D60 gears with install kit for $388. And the 14bff gears and install kit for $450.

fyi carrier split is 4.10 down and 4.56 up for both axles.

thick is used for 4.10 down factory stuff to save you from buying a new carrier to install.

and 75-85 % of factory stuff for reg street use was 4.10 down. few reg got 4.56 or military as ordered.

and give these guys a call. best prices and fast ship when i got a big pile of stuff last year. http://coloradok5.com/forums/member.php?u=50196
