The G2 gears and rebuild kits seem to be priced right but are they as good as the others.

what do you have and did you do the bearing install kits.

Got 3K miles in my G2's. Went with the kit with new bearings. So far they are smooth and quiet.

All JK gears are produced from the same 2 or 3 Asian factories then boxed for different companies. (word is that the ones produced in the Korean factory may have slightly better quality control?) Haven't heard anything negative concerning G2.

With low miles, you can get by with install kits. (assuming the installer doesn't F-Up). But, why take the chance? Go with overhauls...
