Gear change/setup

[desertmike345]

Any good shops in the Yucca valley / Palm Springs area. Need to change gears and install lockers in an XJ, front and rear (d30, 8.25).
Posting this on several boards.

Thanks

I just regeared a 8.8, it is something I would recommend doing yourself for the learning experience. I just watched a couple youtube videos and got after it. I put anything that needed a bearing put on in the freezer and put the bearings in the oven for 30 minutes at 350 and everything dropped on easy. I dremeled the inside race of the pinion bearing just a hair to make it easy to set that depth. Once I knew the correct pinion depth the undremeled new bearing went on. It really isn't nearly as intimidating as I thought and something that can be done in a day.

If you want to have your gears whine and sound like crap and have to be redone by a professional later, then yeah, go ahead and contact him.

Thats funny not one person here or else where has had an issue.

Your just butt hurt over personal reasons and cant fab worth shit, and I think that the people that came over to get gears done (oh about 20 a month) all saw your bottie fabed D60 that was going in a jeep at some point with alot of Angle iron and crap on it for brackets, and we all laughed about it.

Get over it...

Yeah...completely. I'm so butt hurt... dunno what you speak of but I am certain you are an expert and know everything since you say Yukon is the best and nothing else compares :laugh3:

Actually I know of 3 people around here have had issues....I know one who paid $400 for a real professional to fix it and the guy got it right. Performance Gearing in Azusa is a real gear professional and does it for a living.....he's not some retard weekend gear guy with ADD who can't focus on the job at hand.

I have said and still believe that a Yukon boxed set is the best aftermarket (and even at times OE in the box) set of gears one can buy. Prove me wrong?

3 people huh? Interesting. Not one ever said anything to me. Very convenient for your personal vendetta... Did one of them send back the gear to Yukon or USA Standard to see if it was over heated or if it was setup? I bet 100% No. And I can only assume why....

Yep a retard that does over 20 gear sets a month. Has been for over 10 yrs and 7yr+ as RWK Haus Supply and not one internet posted thread about how I setup some gears wrong, that has Any merit at all. A.D.D. maybe. But how does that have anything to do with anything. Your married to a Asian. Does that have anything to do with it?

Know everything nope. Know Jeep axles Very well, yep. Likely the reason why Yukon (Randy Ring & Pinion - mother company) Pays for me to display and do their booths at Off Road Expo, and TDS, and anything else semi local.

I understand you dont like over seas parts, but without one D30 gear set being made state side, or even people like dana and AAM moving production overseas. Well, you will have to get over it some day...

There are others I am sure, that can install gears. Not just I, thats for sure. I have never heard anything bad about Performance Gearing, but since you recommend them so highly, there must be something wrong there.

Oh and I have some pretty good references...
*3 place mod class car 2 yrs in a row and this year 2nd place, has my setup 3rds in his 9". And will this coming year. Never one failure in competition.
*2nd place Mod car 2 yrs in a row, did those gears.
*A few Stock class cars for KOH and raced the Ultra4 series, did their gears.
*Blaine (some know of him), recommends me and I have even done his wifes and I think his axles.
*Gerald from Savvy, yeah you know 1st place stock/Mod car 3 yrs in a row at KOH, I did ALL of his gears up till he met John Currie (and you can assume why I dont any more).

Not one failure or complaint on any of the above...

Yep just a retard here...
