Gear break-in

[dobber]

Just got my new gears in and was wondering if I should break them in and what is the best way? My rig is definatly no street legal (wheeling only) so I cant really go out and drive on them...

The key is to get them warm and let them cool off, COMPLETELY. A lot of guys dont break-in off road gears and claim they have never had a problem, which in some cases is true; depends on your style. Its much more critical with a road driven vehicle. My advice is take it out and a couple short trails and get the diffs warm, then stop and let them cool down. Avoid really high speed and throttle. Do that a couple of times and you should be golden.
