so i live in manteca ca and i want to get new gears installed on my jeep and the local guy here that i talked to wanted $400/axle. that seems a bit high to me. is that normal? or does anyone else have a shop they go to that would be in the central valley area?

 

That is really high, I'm 65 miles away and I went to west coast differential, I supplied all parts and axles were out of the vehicle. I paid $315 Was a 30/44 combo. Done late 2013

Also, you're relatively close, let me know if you decide to hit the rubicon any time soon, been dying to go!!

 

Where are they located?

 

Rancho Cordova, they quoted me $350 or $400 and I haggled them to $300 without hassle

 

Also Valley Differentials in Stockton. $175 per axle off the vehicle if you bring your own parts.

Cool. Thanks. Now I just need the parts.
