Which Mud Vendor?
I'm ready to order gearsets and install kits for my diffs. I've got a quote from Randy's Ring & Pinion, but I'd really like to support a Mud Vendor. So...who have you guys used for gears?

Kurt at Cruiser Outfitters is who I used.
No complaints

Ok, so Kurt stocks Yukon gears, which I have had good experiences with. JT's stocks Nitro gears which I've never heard of?
Thoughts and/or opinions?

I am running Yukons and don't know much about Nitro gears but their website doesn't give much description of their quality.

I think I'm going to stick with what I know. Yukon's it is.
Too bad Kurt's gone to the Cruise Moab until the end of the week. 
Thanks for all the help guys.

Wow, look at all the expensive **** in your sig line. Perhaps you should make the damned thing run, reliably, before dragging it thru an offroad catalog with a magnet attached! After all the work it took to install all that, I'd thinhk a couple of water leaks should be minor! ~ TEXX (IH8MUD member) 10/09
