I can do a lot of work on cars, but I have never been comfortable properly setting up gears.

With the mention of the SE MI Jeep Club, I may check that out as well.
I'm the same way. I like to do all my own work, but gears are one of the few thing that I prefer to outsource.

Thanks in advance,

I have used them a couple times over the years. They did my JKUR about 2 years ago. All has been great. I did already have my gears and install kits so they only provided labor on the JK. Buddy had his PR44 done by them a year or so ago. No complaints

Thanks Jeep-rat. I'm probably going to give them a call this week. Between axle/gear upgrades, lift and new tires and wheels, I'm trying to balance what order to do everything in. I would like to install the lift myself. Then hopefully I can put on the tires and wheels and drop it off to have the gears and alignment done.

Price is fair and work is done right the first time. Wouldn't go anywhere else, and I live on the far west side. It's worth the trip.

Where can I find info on SE MI Jeep Club? I tried Google and got the same info as last spring when I was looking...

If it is an open club I'd be interested in joining. I live in Ann Arbor and am always on the lookout for fellow Jeepers to wheel with.

And to let me use their nice warm garage... LOL

Thanks!
