    I'm looking at getting some gearing done on my lil Yota, and I am wondering if it's better to go with 4WP, or any recommendations on shops to go with?? Any help would be much appreciated, so thanks in advance, my good ole Tx Group...

    I’ve fixed a few of 4WP mistakes. I don’t suggest going to them for anything but purchasing parts.

    Not 4wp. It really depends, plenty of guys on here that do gears. If you want some sort of warranty then use a good gear shop.
