has anyone used thease gears before? only disclaimer is the not reccomeneded for quiet cars.. theyre cheep and made by yukon so im tempted to give it a go.... hopefully some of you have tried thease gears before. and can give me a heads up on them

I've never heard of them (sounds like something you'd see on cheap noisy gears). I'd stick with the regular Yukons myself, I've generally had very good luck with them.

well they are made by yukon just lower quality and not brand name i asume lol... so im asuming they might have just skipped a step in the manufacturing proscess? i dunno...

If I had to guess they are likely just yukon gears that did not meet there specs when inspected but will still work.

I wouldn't want lower-spec gears myself... Any inconsistencies in tooth contact (in addition to making noise) can cause the gears to fail early if pushed hard than if they had smooth consistent tooth contact. Re-setting up a new set of gears is not cheap (and broken teeth floating around in there will likely destroy other things too, such as an expensive locking differential).

X2..............and where are they made? A broken r&p on the trail is a big problem.
