Mike, holy cow!
I was completely unaware that our suspicions were correct.
Even if you can get gears, you will have a long and slow trip home. The shop has you by the sack and there is not much of a way to get around that.

Sorry to hear about this one. I'll see what my dealer has on offer tomorrow. Have you already got the new gear and pinion??
Can you rent a truck at uhaul or something and doilies to tow it back??

ok, here is the poop: after 6 hours of pay phone time, i was able to locate the gears in georgia. they are overnighting them to moab and i will take them over to grand junction, co to get them installed (hopefully) under warranty. if not under warranty at least i will have the leverage of the dealership to go after the (alleged) bonehead that installed my locker (allegedly) incorrectly. lance found the part # 41201.80189, $634.89 was the price quoted to me (thanx victor, but dan at american did not have any in stock -- wish i could have gotten his pricing). with the ~$100.00 shipping and around $3-400 labor this has turned out to be one h3ll of an expen$ive trip! assuming, of course, warranty does not kick in and i somehow lose the court case with the locker installer...
thanx all for the love!

Ah dude,
That really sucks. Im glad things are working out for you. Seems like a quite expensive trip.
How long have you been gone for? Come home dude!

See what happens when I don't spot you?
You guys are cool doods. I'd like to wheel with you more. I'll take you to some hard stuff. You'll like it.
We'll wheel again.
