I searched 249 Driveline on here but as usual it didn't produce any results.

They were offering them for $650 for a while...there were people all over the state and surrounding have used them with excellent results. They do ALOT of fricken gears so they are able to give great prices. I think I might just go get em done since they are so cheap. I might even buy a set for a friend! LOL
If your local and they are offering the warranty as stated seems like a great deal. lil bit too far for me to drive lol

My local 4x4 shop is doing the Evo gussets and tubes, regearing, and riddler diff covers for a guy for like 1800 for all parts and labor. Seems like a fair price to me.

I did a gear swap form 3:21's to 4:88's and the cost was around 1300.00. Love it.

Luke Graham at Frontier 4x4. His shop is in his garage since all of our bigger 4x4 shops have shut down, but that keeps the costs down too.

Whats wrong with Baja Claws? Snow I can see them being not so hot in, but they absolutley rock in the Rocks (pardon the pun)

I know at least 4/5 people that run them down there in AZ--some on mostly stock jeeps and the others on their buggies and they swear by them.

They do wear fast and they are a pain to rotate since they are directional---but you are honestly the first I have heard say that they are bad on the rocks.......but then again that gravel in ID is pretty hard core compared to AZ
