I may be interested depending on when and where. Getting my Jeep regeared on Monday, which should help quite a bit. Going from 3.21's to 4.56's

There are places that are cheaper. But he does good work, offers a full warranty, etc. So if there are any issues, all labor is covered to fix em. He also does lots of fab work if you are looking for a custom cage or the like.

For me its a bit over 1500 for parts and labor. that includes front and rear R&P's, new front carrier, front master over haul kit (all new bearings), new inner axle seals, master over haul for the rear axle with all new bearings.

Technically I did not have to put in new front inner seals, and I did not need to replace the rear bearings. This was my choice, as well as advised by him. I rather have everything new. If the Jeep was brand new I doubt I would have changed all that. But its 4 years old with 35K on it. So it would have been about 200 or so below that if I did not do the seals and rear bearings.

That is well worth it. Just had my front axle seals changed also at 30K.

Was seriously considering doing the Dusy-Ershim trail with Epic Addictions over labor day weekend, a last epic run to finish out the season. Just too much at this time, next year. Really would like to get another trail in this season. The weekend after Labor Day would be perfect for me. Any interest?
