Wanting to regear the tj for 35's. Is Rivercity diff still highly recommended? What about WFO outside of Auburn?
I know I've asked this ? before but shops change. Any recommendations.

Offline lots of places will do gears. Make sure whomever you pay will stand behind the install even if an initial failure is product rather than labor.
I have had gear installs from Extreme Gear, River City Diff, West Coast Diff and 4-Wheel Parts. 4-Wheel parts was the cheapest.
Others use WFO so they're probably fine as well. River City Diff and 4-wheel parts give a club discount...

Offline I'll need to get serious and get a quote from 4WheelParts before too long. I hadn't even thought of them.

WFO does a lot of work for other folks in the club. They seem to do a really good job. I had my last set done by predator offroad in Auburn. It's been 2 or 3 years though and I have no idea if they're even still around.

Offline I had my gears done by WFO and they were $100 cheaper per axle than River City.
Um...what?

Thanks for the imput. I'll go with WFO since I need some more tubing for mods also. I called most of the places mentioned and prices were not to far off. A friend bought both sets of 33's I had and he lives in auburn. So a free ride home and tubing decided it

If you tell Trevor at WFO im sure he will match other quotes for installation. Plus you will be supporting a local shop not a national chain.

Sounds great! What kind of issues did they point out?
I used to wheel a lot. . .

Issue one. The jks disconects when not in use would be in the way of tires at full stuff turning right/ left. That aluminum frame mount would not be there for long.
Second issue. A broken wheel weight. The clip was still between the tire and rim, no weight though. I found the weight in my trailer. I had hauled the wheels an tires home from the tire shop and had stopped for some 6 inch angle iron along the way. I believe my helper tossed rather than placed the material in the trailer.
The first issue I would have found being I was not done with my work on the jeep yet,at least that's the story I'm sticking with. 🙄
The second issue I had done a front alignment and checked my measurements twice. I had not driven it though until that morning and had not reach 60 mi. like they had after the gear install. I swear I would have found that one too.............
