Since were on the subject, I'm debating taking my axles to someone to do them our doing them myself. If I take them to a shop and get them done it will save me alot of time and hassle, but doing them myself will save money. I have always done them myself so I don't know prices besides what I have read from others.. So what have you guys paid for gear installs in the Utah county area? And where?

 

i usually only pay 75-150 but not in ut county, i have a buddy do it who has done it for yrs.

 

I wouldn't mind a further drive to save some money...

 

let me see if he wants to or can do em. will the axles be in the jeep? how soon you want them done?

 

i live in vernal but if it's gonna save me a few hundred bucks to drive out that way i will. the shop is called auto works here in vernal

 

$500 an axle isn't that bad if they are re-gearing all new bearings, installing locker, seals, pressing bearings on/off ect... However I wouldn't pay that lol. We charge about $400-$700 in labor alone to over haul a complete solid axle depending on the model.. on the side my co workers typical charge about $300 an axle... or $150 to set a Toyota diff already removed lol

I guess its all relative, Love doing it all my self. worth knowing how it was done and that its done right.

 

I would go this way if your not doing it yourself....

 

now that I can see it LOL, Awesome!

 

Yay!

No I will have the axles pulled out and tore apart. Does this guy work in a shop?

 

Yeah I was assuming he already has the bearings and gears ect..
I have been planning on doing them myself but my **** is already taking way to long and it would save me a couple days and alot of headache

 

so i have the 8.8 installed and the 4.10 gears the locker and diff cover is still on its way

 

not anymore, he used to work for jack-it now he works at kennecott. thats just what he charges to install, you would have to buy all the parts he just puts them together.

 

I have all the parts

 

well got the trailer last night. now we are readyfor some camping now, all I need is a buggy then i will be set.
