I'll hazard a guess...Trail Gear.

If it is Trail Gear is probably a decent product, I have been happy with the quality of all the TG products I have purchased and even happier with the prices.

not defending trail gear in any way but every trail creeper gear ive seen, (at least 6) were all yukons with the 304 etching.  some of them are us gear from what ive heard. just hands on experience not defending anybody or trying to start a pissing match. alothough posting trail gear parts threads on a marlin board is kind of asking for it... fwiw the trail creepers have been good gears but its just like some of the yukons ive ordered from randys were actually us gear or precision gears in a yukon box....

I have em. All mine were reboxed yukons except the v6 gears I have in the rear, they looked to be precisions, but I could hardly make out the letering. I'm gonna be happy with em just like I was with my last set , till I broke em. They were yukons I bought from randys r&p. There wasnt one set that setup any better than another, all the patterns looked good after my friend and I got em shimmed, and the backlash set properly.


setup is the key!

We need a smilie cheat sheet to tell us all the possible meanings of each smilie. It can get confusing out there in the big world of smilies At least you keep to the basic ones like :) and ;)
