Alloy USA Gears

[jerseyjeep01]

So I'm about to make a gear purchase. I've been looking at the Alloy USA's on Northridge for $149.95 in the 4.88 flavor for my D44. I haven't seen much talk on here about them and wanted to see some feedback on the quality and ease of setup. I know most are going to say Spicer, and I agree that Spicer is the best, but I'd like to try to save a few $$ for my locker and axles if I can (I'm on a tight budget.)

I would check the production date on them and know that they probably won't be warranted.

They are however probably made by Precision Gear, who Alloy-USA bought several years ago. The odds of having to warranty them are pretty slim.

That said, I'd call a Naxja sponsor to buy. National Drivetrain, or Nitro Gear and Axle.

National Drivetrain only sells Motive Gear, who I never heard of before. Great price though at $125!

Motive is quality stuff.

Randy's Ring and Pinion or Superior Gears. I broke my Alloy USA.

Ron Stobaugh is now working for Motive (PBB link above). All the good things you ever heard about AlloyUSA were probably because of him. I ordered Motive gears a few weeks ago because of that. They had a good reputation before, but Ron joining the team made up my mind.

I ordered from National Drivetrain. Real nice guy (Eric)... and a good price... just a little slow to ship. I'd order from them again for sure.

Yeah, I've made up my mind. I feel confident in going with Motive Gear. I did a little research last night and I see a lot of Ford Mustang guys use them, no complaints there or come backs.
