Ok, heres a really dumb question. Since people are seemingly constantly upgrading, what do they do with their old parts ?? Im not sure that used gearing would be a good choice, but it just got me wondering what most do with their take offs.
 
So that’s a great question. Kris did a atlas swap and now his sye and driveshaft plus track bar is in my Jeep. I know there’s a ton of used parts in Jmt’s Jeep too. Just keep a eye peeled on the parts for sale section. Get out there and wheel with some people and ask them what they got .

Ordering my 4.56 gear set from Revolution today.

Noticed there is a $50 price difference between 2 sets. Both are the same, except one has Timken bearings other has KOYO bearings

Ive heard of Koyo bearings before, but dont remember hearing any problems with them?? Extra $50 buys all the gear lube i need

Did you buy individual sets or did you buy a package that included both sets?
 
They offer everything in a Kit, just have the 2 bearing options to choose from

Then go for the cheaper of the two. Both bearing sets are good. That's weird, I just ordered a set for a JK and there wasn't a bearing option.

My gear installer recommended the Koyo kit when I had my 5.13 Revolutions installed. He didn't specify as to why and I didn't question as he does a lot of installs.
 
Revisiting this thread for a bit of a rant.

i got caught up in the sale of our house and moving, so i didnt get my gear set ordered until 2wks ago.

Anyone ever have issues ordering from Revolution ??

Placed my order on their website, never received confirmation or tracking. Tried to sign up on their site, but wasnt allowed to, wanted to check my order status. So i call them, guy says he sent me an email saying a buncha stuff was back ordered but he just got it and would be sending out ASAP. Also said he sent me confirmation emails. Never got one. Going on the third week now and no parts

If he's been notifying you via email, then he has been keeping you up to date. The real problem is with the emails and where those are going.

I asked him if he had my correct email address, he did. So they must be lost in the clouds
 
I just ordered from them a short while back and the master install kits were on back order. They did come in and mine were shipped immediately. I didn't get any tracking either.

So just since everyone is here, has there been any feedback on Nitro gears (good or bad)? The shop I wanna use only uses Nitro.
