    I have a 2018 Taco TRD OR with the locker. I want to get 5.29s installed. I can buy the gears of course, but I'm looking for a local shop or member that can install them? Any recommendations fellas? Thanks!

    I went to Pro Gear in San Diego about 2 years ago and had them install my 4.88 gears. I had a Nitro kit that they installed, although they said they aren't as keen on installing customer supplied parts only because there is more opportunity for issues to arise, but since it was a kit they did it. As it would turn out, Nitro accidentally packed the wrong front gear into the kit and wouldn't you know it, a problem arose. To make it worse, I was deployed and my wife was getting it done for me, but the gentlemen at Pro Gear were extremely helpful and got it taken care of.

    All that to say, I would go to them again but I would buy parts through them if you do.

    Look for any 4 Wheel Parts store and they can regear your truck for you. But they only carry the Yukon gears which are either 4.56 or 5.16 gears, i believe...
