The build of Ruthless

Well Ruth is home. Got her on Friday. Hood and doors were repainted. All the seam sealer was removed from the doors and hood as well. Hinges were removed and media blasted before paint. Warranty is still good till June so hope nothing else pops up

good they at least repainted, I've found places on my 2018 JLU where the paint has now peeled off, the dealer said Stellantis rejected the repaint.
 
Not me lol place down the street from my work. Seemed like a fair price at 1300$ to do the work, 500 check of the gears with fluid change and with a 2 year warranty
Yea I bought the Yukon master install kit from quadratec then had them do the install
So 3 year update on this gear installā€¦ā€¦

Pretty much since I had the ā€œrecommended shopā€ from Quadratec do the gears for me I havenā€™t been thrilled with this install. The gears have whined on decel. For the first year and after the first 2000k miles I argued with the shop about the backlash not being right. They said that since I provided the gears that they were not gonna warranty the work. šŸ¤” kinda lame if you ask me considering I got the gears from Quadratec where they would have gotten them from anyway. Basically I just gave up in the end.

Well now being at the shop Iā€™m at I am having my boss fix my rear end. The extreme amount of backlash and the coast side of the patten on the gear is way off, we decided a complete new gear set is best. Ordered up some revolution gears from work and hope to get them installed here soon

Long story short, cheap isnā€™t always best. Pay a great shop like Disciple that has the experience doing gears to do them. Iā€™m lucky enough to have a boss who has been doing gears his whole life to fix mine for me. Will post more pics when we get around to fixing it

Sucks you went through that but glad you've got the resources now to do it correctly.
