I agree...Call Gearman. He has done two jeeps for me. Great service and you cant touch the price

I got my ring and pinion install kits from randy's, along with an open front carrier, and I say he does very good business, but I may be going to gearman for the next regear that takes place, because of the valued service and such that he is said to bring.

I got my gears and a 44 detroit ($460) from Randy's Ring and Pinion and the 9 inch locker from that Drivetrain Warehouse ($360). The Drivetrain Warehouse offered a lifetime warranty and free shipping. If you call around they will match and beat each other and sometimes throw in free shipping.

Drivetrain Direct treated me pretty good.

If you are going to a shop to have the work done, order the parts from them if they aren't way out of line. I'd rather spend a few bucks locally than mail order. Besides, that way if it blows up, the installer has all the liability of repair.

If you are doing the install yourself, nevermind. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

I agree. If you bring parts to an installer then IMO you are responsible for the cost of the installers time if something is wrong with the parts you supply.

But if you pay the shop to "regear" then they are responsible for any screwups from the gear supplier.

Think about it from the installers perspective.

Randy's gets my vote. <IMG SRC="smilies/glasses.gif" border="0">
