Anyone up here know of a decent place to buy diff parts? Like Spider Gears? All I now of is Randy's Ring and Pinion and I've heard mixed reviews about Yukon parts.

Randy's is one of the biggest in the country. Most of the yukon stuff isn't bad. At least what i've used and seen.

What'd you break?

Spider gears are worn out around the pinion shaft.

Kinda meant what sort of vehicle in case I had anything.

Try asking on the washington or oregon local forums on the wranglerforum.com I'm sure several guys have taken their original diffs out and installed something bigger. Several were just talking about not being able to get rid of them and having to turn them in for scrap.

Did you find somewhere? Dealer maybe? Six states in portland.. not sure what all is up north.

Ah forgot about this place http://www.rockridge4wd.com/ They're in Wenatchee. I bought my winch from them, good service and price.. Upgraded me from a 9k lb to a 10k for free when they oversold the 9k. Couple other extras too.

Craigslist, brand new seat still sealed. Almost as much slop as what I've got. Guess they are just floppy donkeys.

Bad half shaft u-joint was the cause of my sound I think. All better now.

Ahh.. Been a rash of that lately. Changed mine as soon as I got home with it. Last trip out one guy lost the caps on both axles and another broke an ear off of one.. but didnt break the U-joint.. odd.

Just one cap was T.U. The others were perfect. Precision offers a greasable one but it's more spendy. I went with the non serviceable precision. I've had good luck with that brand. Says USA on each joint at least. LOL

I always knew driving in water higher than the tires would catch up one day!

The greasable ones aren't supposed to be as strong either. Think I used their extreme non greasable version.

Kinda sucks to break those on these tj's. No hubs to unlock and you need the outer shaft at least to hold the bearing together.
