alex @ performance offroad center

you'll get a better price by going to pirate4x4 or tacomaterritory and then PM him (PORC). they usually have ongoing gear sales listed at both.

my front and rears with MIK's were $500 shipped.

I paid $506 shipped for my Yukon 5.29s (front and rear) and 2 Master Install kits from this site:

He was great to deal with and very quick to ship.

I paid for Yukons.

Yukons are simply the manufacturer overruns for Precision, US, Spider, Richmond, etc, that are bought in bulk from the cheapest at the time and then boxed by Randy's Ring and Pinion into "Yukon" Boxes. They are the same gears as are found in the brand-name boxes.

I have Richmond Rears and Precision Fronts and only paid $501 shipped. If I would have paid for the Richmond and Precision BOXES that went with the gears (instead of the Yukon boxes they came in) it would have been nearly $200 more.
