That was for a new carrier for the rear, gears, shp materials and labor. I had the lockers and install kits already. 4-wheel parts wanted to charge almost $1700 to do what Scott did.

If your going to be re gearing I wouldn't do it by yourself. It's not easy first time and not hard to screw up. If you guys wanna learn I suggest get help from someone who knows their axels. I see people post on here all the time about doing the gear themselves and watching videos on how to sites and screwing it up. It's something that would be cool to learn just make sure you learn it from someone is all I suggest.

I got my bud that done this own gears that showing me how to do mine and he works thru the dealership so he has all the tools and everything. Gears and valve bodies are the only thing that I don't know how to do very good.
