like the title says, what are some good, or let me refrase that. GREAT local 4x4 shops that do gear installs..? i'm thinking come the first of the year/spring time i will have enough cash saved up that i can finally get a gear swap done. i hate having soo many freaking downshifts when driving down the interstate. it's rediculous... so name some shops and prices if you could. don't give second rate shops either, i mean we are talking about our babies here, or that's how i view my rig. thanks!

 

When you say "local" can you be more specific? You mean local in Joplin? I can give you a place in the Kansas City area, which isn't too far but otherwise I am not much help.

 

no doesn't have to be joplin. local as in i would consider ne where in the 4 state area within reasonable driving distance. i mean considering that my jeep would be down for a day or 2 for the gear instal. kc would be reasonable... think the wife would be up for a road trip/weekend stay.

 

In Kansas City you need to call Mike Burns @ JP-Evolution. He did my gears and he has worked on a ton of Jeeps and several JK's as of recent. Very reasonable on prices too.

His # is 913 - 499 - 0055

 

I second this post for a good guy and great price. Definitely give him a call! Just dont interfere with my gear install scheduled for December 8th!!
He has done some other work on my jeep as well, but I think now all he is doing is differentials. You can always call him for more information.

 

I would check with Custom Differentials in Bloomsdale Mo, just up 55 from you. Hit up Howdy on the forum. I beleive he had a good experience with them for a reference. Howdy is in Poplar Bluff.
