Quote for gears and lockers on sport s

[Tommyd]

I got a auto from a shop yesterday to install 4.88 gears and add e rear Eaton e locker on the rear of my sport s. $3999 and that includes a taser mini and all labor. Does this seem fair? Seems like a decent price to me but just thought I’d share and see what you guys think.
im doing all of this before I do lift and 37s so I know it’s done right when I do upgrade.

Seems high. I want to say my gear job only was about $2300 and a locker would have added essentially parts they said, so maybe $3500ish.

It’s not crazy, but seems a little high.

Seems more than fair to me. Gears usually run you $1000, Eaton e-locker is $1200, Tazer is $300. $1500 on labor for all of that is very reasonable - my shop is charging $2000 for gears and front locker, and I already ran the wiring.

edit: for a breakdown, it’s 10 hours labor which is $1800. The rest is misc parts (oils), taxes, and 500 mile service. Another quote I got was $1550 but I didn’t follow up so I don’t know the breakdown, and whether it included taxes and/or 500 mile.

That’s what I was thinking. I know it’s a lot of work. It’s hard spending money when it doesn’t yield and physical results. I know I will be able to feel it though!

Then add the taser mini for 329. Not to far off I don’t think.

I was looking for something similar and I was just quoted 3600-3700 for gears and a locker (just rear-electric). I was also recommended 4.56 gearing to go to 35" tire.

This website has a chart for gearing and tire sizes. I assume it's good info but I'm no expert - first time Jeep owner. I did get max tow for the 4.10 gears hoping they will be enough for 33 or 35" tires.

Is it a full rebuild with bearings etc? Or just the gears? Any warranty?

Seems fair

I'm doing this right now

$1200 for gears+kit+covers
$350 for Tazer
and I've been quoted anywhere from $1000+-$1800 for install

Fair price to me. I live in California and I got quoted just about the same at 4WheelParts but just a re-gear; no locker, no tazer.

Seems fair considering the increased cost to operate a business as of late. If they stand behind their work, even more so.

Plus Tazer , e locker wiring so it's getting close .

I'd probably go 5.13s if you're set on 37s.

Based on what I spent for Spicer gears front and rear, this is reasonable including one locker. Can I ask why you’re not installing a front locker as well, since they’ll be open anyway?

You’re not wrong. 5.13 is great with 37’s. 4.88 might be enough, but when is enough, good enough, with Jeeps.
