Lots of updates since February:
-finished my OBA, and it works great. Used it once so far to air up the trailer tires on the road.
-i built and installed a rear window storage rack. It's great for holding things up and out if the way.
-finished redoing the headliner
-currently undergoing axle regear and rebuild
-along with a swap to a d30 high pinion front

I'm going to 4:11 gears to help with the 31s and my trailer
-eaton trutrac front
-b lees offroad steering
-metalcloak lcas to match the uppers I have
-rear is keeping the Spartan and both are getting full rebuild kits (bearings, seals, etc)

After that is done it's back to some more interior and minor storage projects

I really like that gear rack! Good job

Thanks. It fits well. I used a wire shelf to start with for anyone who cares. It mounts to the seatbelt bolt and bolts to a plate sandwiching the plastic panel below.

Rear went in and went on a roadtrip last weekend. It ran great, I love how the new gears help on the highway. Especially with the trailer behind. I should get busy on the front now.

I like what you've done and where your going. Are you doing the regear yourself? i also have a hp d30 I'm going to fully rebuild and install.... some day.

No the company I used to work at is doing it. Quick Performance of ames, Iowa has all your axle needs. Everything. They are the largest distributer of Yukon and Randys ring and pinion products.

I've been waiting to a refund from ol' Quick Performance for about 4 weeks now for wrong parts shipped. I'll never go through them again

Interesting. They're usually on top of that. Who did you deal with?
Or did you go through Amazon, cause that's a slower process.

went through a local guy who has a connection with someone named Brydon that works there. I returned them last month after paying for the shipping. Checked the tracking number and they did receive the package, waited about a week and called them myself and was told I would get a call back. 2 weeks since the last time I called them and still nothing. I've been keeping up with my 'middle man' too and they haven't connected him back either

Brydon is the owner, so not all sales are his top priority (I know that sounds bad), they have salesman for that. Returns used to be a slow process to sort but I thought that picked up so I'm not sure.

My suggestion would be to check in, they aren't usually that slow. If Brydon isn't available (he often isnt), then ask for Erin. She handles returns sometimes.

They are a small company dealing with rapid expansion so occasionally something is mishandled. I don't enjoy making excuses for a company, Im just trying to provide some helpful insight as to why you may be waiting. I waited a month for my axles (I knew that ahead of time though) because I know who builds them and what was on his plate.

I do not work there anymore (I got another job in another field), but they are great people at a good company and I'm sorry to hear about your issue.

Erin is who I addressed the package to lol it only going to be probably a $1xx, was just a front dana 30 gear set. Its not a huge deal but just not the best way to ran a business id think

 

[XJSuperman]

Agreed. Hopefully they fix you up.

I got the old bushings out and the balljoints replaced on my new axle tonight. Tomorrow I continue the prep
