Ok never mind. Do as you want its your rig/money. Guess you can always fool yourself once also.

I lost my sense of urgency, realized there isn't such a rush. Gonna shop around for a better option than the terra30.

Thank you everyone for the advice.

I Googled the name and found that it has gotten some really bad reviews. Look at what others have to say. I would recommend adding your experience to the list.
Yelp - 4 Wheel Parts - Tires - El Paso, TX - Reviews - Photos

Also some bad reviews on the El Paso Better Business Bureau website. El Paso BBB Reviews of 4 Wheel Center

Even more bad reviews

I have edited this post twice because everywhere I looked there were more bad reviews. So, does anyone know of a good shop in El Paso?

I have hit them on several jeep threads. Will get on yelp and BBB too.

Especially after research plus found a ring/pinion experienced mechanic to help me build my new axle with arb. As we tore apart the work done by 4wheel center el paso the shenanigans just kept coming. Bad backlash .022!...probably insufficient carrier preload...bad pinion depth...no pinion oil slinger...crush sleeve not crushed...less than 10 ft lb pinion preload...
