Default National Drivetrain brand gears.

Anyone have any experience with these gear sets? Ive tried searching for reviews and haven't found anything. For the price it seems like a good deal, if the quality is there of course.

That seems like a good deal if they're legit. RWKHaus Supply has front and rear gear set for $375 right now, which is a good deal IMO.

No, but I've heard good things about them. They're a forum sponsor on a few of the XJ forums.

Just ordered a set of usa standard gears from rwkhaus. Apparently USA standard is manufactured by Yukon, everything I've read about them online has been positive.

Looks like my build is getting 4.88's

Well that happened quick, I just ordered the gears yesterday and they showed up today in a little over 24 hours. Turns out RWK HAUS shipped product from randys ring and pinion wearhouse only a few hours from me.

The USA gear install kits use KOYO bearings and look like a very well put together kit.

Only problem is they sent me a ring and pinion for a Chrysler 9.25. Just sent off an email to get it sorted out. (see update at end of this post)

I wish that Yukon box was filled with a locker but it's only a Dana 30 3.73+ open carrier.






Update an hour later regarding the part in bold above.

Got an email back from Robert @ RWK HAUS, then a follow up call to ensure I received his email with prepaid return label. They are cross shipping the correct gears for the 8.25 and emailed me a tracking number.

He was extremely helpful and very polite. Great customer service and responded within an hour.

Apparently RWK HAUS ships their products directly from randys ring and pinion. Would gladly do business with them again and it was a smokin deal.
