They are superior gears and 4wheel parts in Bakersfield installed them. It took a while to get them right, but they did a great job on them.

$1280 for gears and install. Off Road Evolution was slightly cheaper, but they are down in Orange Co.

What kind of problems did they have putting your gears in?
Also Ken, did the Rangers say why Miller Jeep trail was closed and if they had an idea when it will be open?

According to Doojer, the Miller Jeep trial is supposed to open 6/1. It was just a winter closure. I saw we have a Miller Jeep trail trip on 6/8 which is the first weekend after its open.

I had the noise on deceleration that everyone else has posted about. I actually expected it to make noise, but the shop wanted it to be right. 4wheel parts worked with superior and other installers to work out a solution. They purchased and used a case speader and installed another gear set and bearing. This took a little while to do, but the gears are quiet now. 4wheel parts went above and beyond what I expected them to do.
