Regearing a Chrysler 8.25 to 4.88 Elite Gears

If your regearing your Jeep Cherokee XJ this video may help out. I'm no expert and a novice when it comes to changing gears so this video is pretty long and it shows my successes and regrets to achieve the results of getting 4.88 running in the Chrysler 8.25 29 Spline.
I chose Elite Gear 4.88 with the Timken bearings rebuild kit. This kit retails for about $570 on eBay. Elite gears are machined from 8620 alloy steel, they also claim to have a very high heat treat standard along with a lapping process to ensure a quiet mesh. I chose them as they seemed like a good deal and had pretty good feedback.
Thanks for watching.
