I have installed several sets of USA standard gears and never had a problem, including the ones in my XJ on 35s that I have beat on for 4 seasons. Revolution gears are good as well. As far a regearing goes it's really not that difficult to do just time consuming, patience is key.

I did a 8.8 and HP D30 swap with ARB lockers in my TJ and did it all myself. At that point Revolution didnt exist yet so I had no real choice other than Yukon, they have been fine but that was also 10 years ago. Regearing isn't difficult but it is timeconsuming, when I did it I used Billavista's regearing Bible which was the go-to guide at the time.

Excellent, looking forward to your regear tutorial!❤️💯

I'm watching your videos, and this is EXACTLY what I am needing right now! Thank you for making these ideas and videos available, it's all good common sense, keep it up!

Awesome video, thanks for sharing all that information!

would appreciate re-gear video. thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience in this video

Great video and information. Would love to see the re-gear video. I didn’t rebuild my 30 because I got intimidated by the shims and crush sleeve I still have the axle and would love to build it. Thanks

would love to see how you regear! :)

Yep, lol. Spent money on 31's and a stroker engine and now I need 4.10's, the regear wpuld cost me more than my Stroker, Clifford intake and Holley 390 DP combined!!! Nope, gonna buy spare axles and regear. Keep the old incase I screw something up, lol.

Nice job Ronnie.

Got my gear set on my jk rubi from 4wp g2 gears 4.88 no issues running 35s also got their worry free warranty even if u trash them they will cover every thing for 3 years and you got an option to extend that warranty after wards no worries here

Thanks. Revolution makes a kit for my Comanche (rev d30 and 8.25). $619, good deal!

Yes let's see a re gear video.. either way, gotta get mine re geared.

My USA Standard regear has whined since day one. When coasting, it sounds like a fire engine siren. 😆

You would make a good simple regear video

I have a 2002 Jeep TJ Sahara with 3.07 gears. To do both front and rear with lockers I have been quoted $4k-7k to regear to 4.56. With the 3.07 I would need a new casing.

That's crazy when you think about it though, yukon is probably the biggest name in gears and your saying they suck lol

There’s allot of places that will actually rent out some of those special tools.

Yes, please do a re-gear video.

Id like to see a regear video also. If possible , at least verbal description of dealing with Chrysler 8.25 would be appreciated. It looks like it uses some internal thing to adjust backlash instead of shims behind bearings.

I recently contacted a semi large shop with Axle in their name, about regear for my JLU Rubicon. told them I wanted 5.13's front and rear with master install package. they said they don't do master installs with regear, it will be Ring and Pinion Gear only, Price of $3,500. to $4,000+ and a 2-3 day job. First off I want new Bearings and Seals if someone is going messing around in there, and they say they don't replace with new ones. Second, they are a shop with several bays and they are going to tell me it takes 2 to 3 days to replace 2 Ring and Pinions only.

My shop uses yukons and they never had a customer return for bad regearing, nothing but good reviews and they wheel the hard stuff all over AZ and Moab. I wonder if what the shops and the diy people get are completely different.

Darn dude,, took ya 9 minutes to get to your prefered gears lol. Great video though. I'll be looking at my gear sets now.

Ronnie where are you located? I know you are a fan of folks doing their own work but I am not mechanical at all! The trouble is I live up in the Seattle area and don't know of a good reliable shop. Any advice you can provide will be very much appreciated.

Best locker video !?

Word of warning for those who want to do a regear themselves, I tried myself, but the gears were extremely noisy, even with a good pattern and backlash. No warranty because I did it myself. Was shit out of luck… Also do not buy Yukon gears! Those might have been why they were so loud.

Great video! What gear you recommend on a dd xj with 4.5 lift and 31" tires? I have ax15 manual transmission.

Re-gear video please, Ronnie

And that’s funny how you say that that’s the third thing you should think about and that is the third thing I’m thinking about is regearing but I am not paying $3000 for a simple 488 regear so it looks like I’ll be doing it myself. I do everything else on my jeep. I’m sure I can do this. I did the rocker arms and lift kit so looks like I’m doing a regear

I’ve been considering regearing my wife’s JKU Rubi. I’m running “35s” (315/70/17) with 4.10s and it drives fine, we don’t do much off-road but we tow a heavy popup a couple times a year and engine temps tend to climb. I’ve got nothing in front of the grill and a Mishimoto radiator and still have to go real easy to keep temps under 240. I’m thinking a set of 4.88 will help.

Can someone please explain the carrier thing my xj has 355 gears and I'm going to 488 have not went parts shopping yet

Great video! Planning on ordering a 24 Rubicon 4 door, with 35s, 3.6L, will put on roof top tent and maybe tow a couple of times a year. Should I go with the 4.56 or get 4.88 option from factory?

These dude around here in southern Indiana are trying to charge 2900 for a simple 4.88 regear on my jk smh

Love the videos and info. Would like your opinion on what I should go with in my WJ. 2004 4.0 currently on 32s with factory 3.55s. Highly unlikely but possibly 35s in the far distant future. Jeep is built around running a 33 though. Running the numbers I’m seeing 4.10s but have been told “you can’t have too much gear”. Jeep sees allot of sustained highway driving and I’m afraid 4.56 will be too low for normal driving. Any help is greatly appreciated. 35/30 Dana. Good source for complete gear set to complete the job?

I just got a set of USA Standard. I ordered them just days before this video. now I'm going to return them.. can't find the usa made sets I need..

Is regearing needed if I don’t off road but I do have 35in?

Great ,getting Yukon 4.88's installed right now. Why would any 4x4shop shop use Chinese crap? Wish I would have known this before. The Yukon (4.88) "whine" seems to be an issue.

Where are circle k gears made

My Xj is still at 354 lol I can't afford to regear my Dana 30/35 abs ex-military 93 model & I'm on 33" Mt would love something better if anyone has some old good 456 gear set up cheap hit me up please , I use 4lo just too be able to climb stuff
