My other possibility, but costs 100€ more, is Nittro.
My mechanic who regear lots of JKs reccomend the Nittro because is the same as Yukon!

Next month will go to an 8000 Km trip to the desert! So I need the best solution!! Canīt have problems in Africa!!

Thanks in advance for your time!

All the gears your comparing are probably equal quality. The biggest variable is probably the quality of the work your mechanic does. As long as he does the job right, and you break them in well, you'll be fine.

Might look at having whatever gears you buy cryogenically treated to make them stronger.

Is that really necessary?
When we buy gears they already come with treatment!!

What i want is a brand that have a good quality control And good feedback from costumers!!

If you check around, you might find that most 'JK' gears are still coming out of the same factory in Asia. Each individual company may require some minor differences in the way the gears are made, but the biggest difference between them is likely to just be the name stamped on the side of the box and the warranty that the name gives you.

For a short time a few years back, Richmond was producing D30 5.38's here in the US. Haven't heard of any others since then.

Base your decision on price and warranty.
