    Is there anyone in AZ who knows how to set gears properly? I have been talking to Josh (outkast) and he wants to re-gear his 4cyl 4x4, I will be getting his rear gears, so between us we will need to regear 3 axles.

    Maybe we could do an install day out of this. All we need is supervision and some pointers while setting the backlash. I am highly mechanically skilled, I just never set gears and I am somewhat scared that I will fuck it up :/

    All depends on Josh, when he gets his gears... When I talked to him, he said before the end of the year, so in the next few months...

    I am totally fine with that... However this all depends on if we can find someone who knows how to properly set backlash and can show us how to do it...

    I would probably attempt to do mine, learn by reading up online, because I am a cheap bastard, but wont touch other peoples shit. Just because I don't have experience doing this...
