    Did you have him send out the gears from the add tube for cryo? We did that to mine. Wasn’t much more cost and figured that’s the last thing to maximize strength of everything up front

    All this gear talk is making me think I shouldnt go through ECGS for assembled diffs. I know gear setup is a pretty big deal but should I really piece it all together and spend the time/money to have Zuk do it?

    When I went to him he ordered all the parts necessary for the gear install , sans taking the diffs out,reinstalling and diff oil.
    I'm sure ecgs or even az deferential do a fine job. But he's locally and known for doing a very precise job.

    He will no longer do anything for you other than disassembling and reassembling your diffs. His physical location means it isn't worth it to him to take care of ordering the gears and getting them upgraded and then installing them.

    You have to do what I did, which is remove from vehicle, buy gears online, get them treated, and then physically drop off and pick up from his house, north of Prescott.

    Other folks will do a good job for you, no doubt, but he really does a GREAT job for you. His customer service is the best I have ever experienced in my entire life.

    Just picked them up last night. They look incredible, and the rears ring is as smooth as glass. It's the smoothest piece of metal I have ever felt.

    Can't wait to drive it.

    I had the guy at ECGS help my out with my re gear and lockers. Customer service with Paul was very helpful in diagnosing a noise and overall Q n A.

    Cant tell if you're being sarcastic. That is the opposite of "the dream" for me.
