I am changing my gears to 4.88's. Looking into doing it myself. Anyone have a good pic or description of a jig or garage set up to help with 3rd member gearing work?

 

Um....what?

www.gearinstalls.com

 

if u are pullit all the way out u can just use 2 jack stands to hold it, im doing my rear diff and made this to hold it while i work on my diff.

 

Thanks appreciate the info. I have been searching on the forums but didn't see anything that I liked, thanks for the link...sweet.

 

There's like a bunch of stickies on most forums that have TONS of gear info....or google.

Zuk's website is fairly extensive. Just have the right tools...

 

BTW what pro do we recommend now that ZUK is retired? Mike @ ORS installed my last set of ring and pinions and he's out of business now too.

 

Hmmmm...I have no idea. Either MC or a local Offroad/speed shop. Honestly, the last setup I had done was from a hole in the wall shop. I was very skeptical when I went to drop off the third but as I walked past the multiple offroad rigs in various build stages, I felt a little better. Plus, talking with the guy about various Toyota things I felt confident. I never had any issues with that setup either.

 

Maybe we could talk ZUK into holding a gear install training seminar. I'd pay good $$$ for that.

 

Indeed.
