    The whole site is discounted by the way. Not just gears.
    Install requires knowledge and tools. And the tools are pricey too

    Question for everyone - can you guys let me know how many hours the typical regear install (front & rear) takes for the '17 Taco O/R? Just the regear, no front locker or anything else.

    Alright, I know I inquired about this on the previous group buy, but going to give it another shot. Can someone please explain in layman terms, if there is a benefit to be gained by doing a gear swap on a 2005, 6 speed manual off-road set-up with no amor or bumper upgrades!! Reason being, is most of the time it seems my truck can't get out of its own way when starting out in 1st and shifting into second gear. I know it's a truck but dam man, she really turtles along until hitting third gear. So I'm willing to sacrifice a little towing power for better response off the line and be able the Wind out the gears a bit. So if there is a suitable option that meets that need I'm definitely game!!! Also, does anyone know if any improvements has been made to manual gearbox since 2005??

    Am wondering how many hours I can expect a shop to quote me, to do a pre-assembled Diff install, front and rear. The pre-assembled ones from ECGS seem like a pretty good deal.

    I'm reading about REM Polishing and wondered if the GB on the Nitro Gears are in fact REM Polished?

    No i dont think they are. They will come straight from Nitro , you will have to find someone that does the REM Polishing.
