Gearing - What gears are you running, brand, and why?

I want to hear more about this. Yotamasters was on my list of locals to call. I have a friend who used them but that was many years ago. I got a “quote” back from Miguel at Premiere west gear, he said re-gear price is $1950 parts and labor, $990 per ARB locker.

According to ECGS site I would be “saving” $180 by going with them and installing the 3rds myself.

Where are you at? It's not hard to pull the diffs. Harder to put the front back in because the angles suck balls, but the rear is cake. Depending on the weekend I can come help. Done mine plenty of times and helped @Itaro and @PermaBan do theirs.

Yep, and I don't have the driveway space for shit at all right now so I'd have to be a mobile mechanic for anyone else.

I’m in La Habra. I do most work myself so I’m not to worried about buying from ECG. Does anyone rebuild the 3rds or just take it somewhere/ but already built?
I like the idea of doing the 3rds myself that way I can do the rear wheel bearings and the rack and pinion bushings.

I don't have the patience for the tolerances needed to rebuild a diff but if you want the extra experience on pulling/replacement lemme know. I actually have a spare 3rd and a spare set of gears sitting here that I need to get done eventually.
