    I wasn’t able to find a shop to install before being out of state, so can’t comment yet. Has anyone else used Yukon rear gears or have a better option? From what I had read, not much difference between Yukon, USA Standard etc..

    I have the Wildpeak AT4w in 265/75/16 on the stock 05 Renegade wheels, stock gears (dumb I know). The tires themselves are great, a lot quieter than expected. They are heavier than my old tires (265/70), but if you are regeared, I wouldn’t think you would notice much difference. What I found...

    Thanks, great explanation! After I posted I thought wait a minute, transfer case wouldn’t allow the front and back to ‘connect’ in 2wd.

    I might be thinking too hard about this, but just want to make sure I do it right. The gears in the front should be turning even if not in 4wd. Load is added when 4wd engaged (right?). How does it not create a problem if the rear is swapped to 4.10 before the front? Some of the break in should...

    A little perspective definitely helps with all this.

    I think we might already be there. Probably not enough demand to keep making them.

    Tom (or someone on here) needs to start a side business of buying the gears directly from Dana and reboxing/reselling them to us, like Yukon :)

    Amazon had let me place an order for them, but didn’t come into stock. Also placed orders at a few sites for the Yukons, but was let down when they didn’t actually have them. Since I’m going to pull the front myself now, I reckon I’ll have better luck. The shop hesitation is understandable I...

    I thought some more about this and this is my current plan: Take the whole truck to a shop and have them rebuild the rear. Come home and take out the front differential myself then take it to be rebuilt. Sounds like the same logic of 2wd applies and it will be fine, but just want to make sure as...

    Know a lot of folks go the junk yard route, but I preferred new. The rear gears seem readily available in a number of places. Seemed like quality could be a toss up, but the shop that has since ghosted me, worked exclusively with Yukon so that’s what I went with for the rear. From reading on...

    At least it isn’t just me, but you at least got some quotes! A ‘Jeep’ off-road shop essentially told me to pound sand because of the age of the vehicle and because I had rear Yukon gears. Messaged me the 2500 plus as a complete shot in the dark and that they would nickel and dime me for the...

    This is why this forum is great, thank you. This might be the way to reduce labor cost, still learn from the experience and also find a shop that will do the inner rebuilding :). Assuming the torque settings for everything holding in the front can be done with a normal torque wrench, I should be...

    Thanks for the replies, I may look into at least pulling the diff out myself. I’ve had the whole front tore apart in the past for the lift, control arms, CVs, tie rods and wheel hubs, doesn’t seem like much more to pull the diff. To duderz7’s point, I usually prefer the ‘buy the tools and learn...

    Thanks! I’ve tried to take care of it over the years. I have done a lot to it myself, but regearing is out of my league.

    Thanks, that makes sense. Given what things cost today, I figured between 2 and 3K, about two days of labor cost. I can’t get anyone to happily take my money to do it is the problem. I wouldn’t trust the shop that gave me the estimate to work on my bicycle with how rude they were . Also noted...

    Hello from central Ohio, first ever post. 2005 Liberty Renegade This is a great forum and I appreciate all of the knowledge that has been shared here. I know regearing has been discussed at length on here, but given that our Jeeps are getting up in years, I was hoping to get some input. I have...
