    Hey guys. Need the rear diff in my Jeep rebuilt and I'm getting crazy high estimates. Anyone recommend a shop in Pensacola? Just needing the stock gears swapped along with new bearings and gaskets, not trying to do any major upgrades.

    Not in Pensacola but in Gulf Breeze (Midway area) Larry Jackson (850-565-7021) is very good with differentials. He rebuilt the rear on my explorer many years ago. Had around 85-90,000 miles at the time, now has 260,000 and still going strong. He doesn't have a fancy shop and is kind of crude (my kind of guy!) but does great work. He's usually more reasonable than most.

    I only use David tau at winged wheel garage on blue angel. Differentials are somewhat of a specialty. I would not let my regular mechanic setup a gearset. He's done several for me and many friends. No issues. If you can take him just the axle it makes the bill much smaller if you have the means.

    I called clutch products a few months ago about bringing them a 9 inch center section to rebuild. He told me i couldnt afford it without telling me lol.

    Get a hopefully low mile complete rear from yard or individual.
