Is this a good price?? $200.00 reserve not yet met and $56.00 for shipping.

I did a search here and while not the favorite brand, I didnt find anyone here who hates them.......

Does anyone here have any experience with this brand???

Thanx.....

there is a site sponsor(i think they are anyway) that can get you a whole gear package with free shipping and a bearing kit for the same price.

He said he bought them for a 99 so that would be an HP D30 I believe.

i saw that, but it still depends what part of 99 it was made in. some 99's are HP, some are LP. only way to tell is to look.

Ok looking into this, in Eric Zappes XJ builders guide, 92-99 XJs all have HP D30s. The LP D30s came out in 2000. But I know its entirely possible they may have been put on some midyear 99s.

According to the pics on Ebay and comparing to numbers on Sierras web site it is for a HP D30. The low pinion is the same as the 97+ TJs....

I bought my gears as a complete set front and rear with install kits and free shipping from www.reiderracing.com for $410. Best deal I've ever seen and they had great customer service. Called me to ask if my D30 was HP and also if I knew I needed a new front carrier. Shipping was quick.
