Alright sorry for beating an old topic to the ground. I’m sure enough peeps have asked this.
Who has done a home regear who is not a professional and how did it end out?
I’m a capable weekend mechanic and have done radiators, frame stiffeners, lifts, rear main, axle seals etc. all the routine stuff. I don’t have anyone who’s done a regear before to guide me through. But I love jeeps and ffroading and can’t afford gears from a shop. I really want to take my Jeep to the next level and learn a skill to apply to my future jeeps.
How do able is this? What are some of your experiences?
