So Ten Factory, Revolution Gear, and East Coast Gear rear axle shafts are all about the same price. ($500). Is there any meaningful difference between the three companies?

I’m not terribly far from windrock. Do they have any trails for people with no experience?

Is the mishimoto better? Not crapping on the recommendation, rather I’d rather pay the difference for the confidence of only having to do this one time.

I’ve read about issues with the Dorman gaskets vs OEM. I’ve also heard about the plastic ones cracking so it seems bad either way. Too bad there’s not a complete bypass solution.

The cheaper shop is offering the aluminum one and the more expensive shop is offering the OEM parts.

I called another shop about the oil cooler and it’s about $1,300 or so. They use all OEM parts and quality oil. The first place uses Napa parts and oil. So same price but one offers to do valve covers and the other doesn’t.

What makes me think of just replacing the shoes and hardware with the axle out is one of the adjusters is currently upside down, lol.

Sorry, I wasn’t clear. I was referring to replacing my axles with ECGS and fully replacing the shoes and hardware with the axles out.

Gotcha. The backing plates are fine. I suppose it permits you to skip the step on messing with the parking shoes but I figure I’ll do that when I replace the axle when I have the most room. Need to save up a few more weeks. I’m likely to go with the ones from east coast gear supply as they...

Thanks. I went to the normal Jeep sites and didn’t see anything. Do you think it’s helpful to also replace the cables at the same time? Seems like cheap insurance since I’m already in there. I’m also seeing places sell backing plates. Are those any different than OEM? There’s not much to...

The whole pull mechanism or something on the inside? Mopar or will crown do?

Added stainless steel extended brake lines, new rear upper control arms and new pads and rotors. I adjusted the rear brake shoes thinking it would help with parking brake engagement but it still requires me to go all the way up.

They wanted ~$450 to do axle seals and bearings, $1,600 for oil cooler, spark plugs, and valve Cover gaskets, and $500 for rear brakes and shoes. I’ll get the chromoly to fix #1, bbk to fix #3, debating about #2.

I received this note and some quotes for each.
