Question Gears on backorder

Hey guys,

I have lifted my Jeep last week expecting to have some gears installed with it. Surprisingly the gears didn’t ship and they are on backorder. Superior gears are not going to be here until July
My axles are stock.


Any ideas

I’m not sure if there is another company that builds or makes gears for our JKs??

Holy cow! Yeah, I'm in the same situation with gears. I don't know where you ordered them from, but David @ Northridge told me that they're going to get in Alloy Gears which are made by Superior anyway. Apparently, they'll have them much sooner.

my source told me that they are all made by the same company which is oversees. That company just sells them to different "gear companies".

To my understanding. the gears that have been made make alot of noise.

David when well you have those gears I'm looking for something nice and durable/ no noise as well.


MAROONJEEP:

Don't give a rats butt about noise as long as their not noisy because of durability problems. I'll take some new noisy ones if they're sitting around.
