This might be chit chatty but it involves just us toyota guys running toyota chunks.
I broke my ring and pinion last weekend, pretty bound up and now I know what not to do.
I get to call around today, call 4 different Local shops and get 5 different prices. I am like WTF?
4.88 gears, toyota 8 inch, 4 cylinder diff
4wheel parts
$275 (richmond they can get, from virgina)
$129 (genuine on back order) West Coast Diff
$160 (sierra, will not price match, but will give it to me for 140) Inchworm gear
$185 (precision gear, instock) Rubicon Express
$220 (sierra, will not price match, have to order)
So, out of all this each master kit was $100 bux. I think am not gonna fix my problem and go to pick and pull to get my 4.10's. I can't believe the price of gears now. That is crap.
i have a brand new 4:88 ring and pinion for 8" toyota on the shelf
low pinion stuff
can't remember the brand name, think it mite be precision
will be selling
Pm me a # if interested, will call sunday eve
off to wheeling for the weekend
the Dana 60 stuff looks to be cheaper
PORC in the vender section has had the best prices that i can find on the web
later....
My vote is Peak Empire too! great prices and good service. He was able to fax me a receipt in 15 minutes when I was stuck at the border without a proof of purchase.
I have had great experiences with him also. But what I am saying is I can't justify buying $200-250 R&P with setup kit and to have it the weak link again. If I can go to PickNPull, get stockers all day long, since I don't drive it on the street any more, what is the difference between 4.88 and 4.10. If I was 5.29 then I wouldn't even consider stockers. It is like putting a bandaid over a 6 inch gash. The R&P is gonna be the weak point again. I guess I will be stepping up to bigger axles this winter.
My point to the thread seems like people are gouging gear prices. I bought 2 R&P, 2 master install kits, 2 detroit ez-lockers for alittle below 800 bucks....geeze it is just gears.
