Including the gears and bearings and of course labor? I seems reasonable to me, but you guys tell me. Now I want to add front and rear Detroit TT's, so that's another $1k, but still $1400 sounds decent.

Funny they don’t mention warranty. I’d be skeptical of any shop advertising on Craigslist. Any good shop that I know doesn’t advertise on Craigslist. Neither would a good mechanic that does work privately. They won’t need to if they’re any good.
Yep, that’s reasonable. I paid $950 for regear, $450 for the gears and master install kits. $850 for e-locker and $100 for install and $400 for PowerTrax no slip.
I came across this, while looking on craigslist for any decent TJ parts I might want.

I vote post it here so we can all use this thread to know if we are getting ripped off, maybe others will do the same and we can use this thread to shop around when needing gears installed.So, i just paid $1800 for mine.
I provided gears, install kits, lockers, rear axle shafts, and bearings.
Shop purchased, new u-joints (for drivelines, and front axle shafts), front and rear brakes, fluids, air locker lines/sylenoid. All new seals were put in and all work was warrantied.
I can PM you my invoice if you'd like.
Well worth all the money IMO.
$1350 out the door, about two years ago. I took a gamble and went against the usual recommendations to let the installer supply all parts for warranty purposes. I purchased the RGA gears and master install kits myself for $550, and hooked up with a local mechanic who does pretty much nothing but gears. He sort of stays under the radar, but is considered by local 4x4 enthusiasts to be the "go to" guy for gear work. $800 total labor. My gamble seems to have paid off, as two years later the gears are quiet.$1450, all parts, labor and warranty by a good shop. I spent another $100 for the front axel u-joints installed as well. Do it!
Around here, I figure 250-300 an end for parts, 200 per end labor. Locker choice on top of that. 50 bucks more per end labor if the ARB air line has to be drilled and tapped.Including the gears and bearings and of course labor?
