Default Who does gears in ABQ?

Not that I'm there yet, but last I checked a while back, no one had...Desert Rat said they would, but hadn't. I didn't want to be their guinea pig...I think also 4 Wheel Parts might, but I really don't like that place. I had a small shop do it on my YJ some years ago, but I checked, they don't do gears anymore. Anyone know of a good shop?

Well that is a good question... I know walker had some 5:13s installed at a shop I believe in Rio Rancho. I think they did a good job but you might want to PM on that and what shop it was.... He pops in every now and then so you might not hear from him right away.

I know of a few places that will do it. I had Scott at Southwest Corvettes do my 5.13's. Did a great job. If you want more info just give me a call at my work.

Why dont we just knock it out in your driveway? Everything else seems to go together just fine.

Right. Between you and me, we would get everything taken apart and that's pretty much it! A gear change is nothing I would trust myself to undertake, it seems way over my head. I can remove and replace suspension parts, bumpers, brakes, etc. all day long, but gears scare the heck out of me.
