sorry for your bad experience. maybe you should give them another chance. i'll tell you alex has been great to me over the years. hell just a couple months ago i ordered a haltop for a friend of mine from him and it gets shipped dierct from bestop and it was the wrong one and it was broken to boot. so it had to go back to bestop because of the broken part. and they said the one i wanted was on back order so alex said screw bestop and sent me one directly from his store and said he'll deal with bestop so i wouldn't have to wait forever from bestop. just an example of how he went the extra mile to help me out. like i said everyone deserves a second chance, and who knows you might end up having a great long lasting relationship from now on.

I have ordered so much stuff from PORC its not funny, great service and prompt shipping every time. I know a lot of people on this site have ordered from them in the past and have been pleased, maybe giving them a second chance is a good idea, or even call them on the phone and talk about what happened last time before placing the order.
On another note, as people have asked. Gear setup is moderatly easy for a mechanicly inclined person, extremely time consuming and requires some thought and special tools. This said, I learned setup on my gears in my cherokee (hp30/44). They are in the end of their breakin period now.

In all honesty, if you're going to do it once, its not worth it to buy all the tools and learn how to do it. There is a reason why it is expensive at any shop. It's a very time consuming process that needs some specialized tools that your average guy working out of the garage won't have.
If you know you're going to be into offroading/cars for a while, have the space for the tools and are patient and like to know how everything in your rig works then go for it. The tools will cost you the labor for your first install.

I suppose money wise that is true, for me however buying the tools was worth it as i'll be doing atleast 4-8 axles.

Yeah, but I wasnt really talking about you . . . you're not "Average". I was talking about people that don't wrench alot, or do basic maintance and have not really gotten their hands dirty before.

"In Gear" in Douglas.
Best service ever- does everything from trannies to gears to anything you want.

im very happy with mitchell differential in shrewsbury. they found all the problems that the last idiot created and fixed them for cheap. he will be getting my money again when its time to build my next set of axles.
