    Better to ask what I have not done.
    I can hook you up with revolution gears and install kits i even have a front clamshell and rear third that can be regeared and then make it so your truck is only down for the day to swap them out. @thefatkid at groove toyota could possibly install the gears for you.

    I'm not a shop so I don't sell gears or install parts. I'm a ways out before I could swing "drive in, drive out" jobs.

    They are made in the same plant. Revolutions have a third lapping to them where nitro only has 2

    Nitro are triple lapped also
    DESCRIPTION
    Nitro Gears are manufactured from 8620 steel gear forgings. They are precision machined using a computer controlled process. Heat treated CNC tripple-lapped and Rockwell tested for harness which results in excellent fitment, ideal contact pattern and smoother, quieter operation.

    I'm partial to Colorado Axle & Gear. They split it up so that there's a man on each axle. In and out in a matter of a few hours. They put the 5.13 R&P, and new carrier in a Jeep I ran for $1600 parts/labor. The other local shops were all over $2K for the same, with no same day turnaround.

    Western Drivetrain. Bill, the owner is an awesome and honest guy. I don't know about Nitro's, but I have had work done there on more than one occasion and he has always been more than fairly priced and fast to get things done. He also stocks just about everything. When I get my FJ re-geared (maybe this week) I will be taking it to him.
