Congrats. The place where I got previous jeeps regeared doesn’t install customer supplied parts. Hopefully yours does.

The JTR comes with reusable gaskets, not sure if the other Dana 44's do but something you may want to check.

I think I'm gonna go this route If I get another stimmy lol. I'll stimulate the economy and my foot at the same time. How much do the parts and labor typically run? I'm running 35x12.5 Duratracs.

That cover fit a 3rd gen D44?

Parts from Quadratec came to just over $1700

Still shopping around for a Diff Shop, I've got some time to decide since the ring & pinion kit is on backorder. In my area I've heard and read $600-700 per axle.

From 373 to 411? Worth the expense for 1 step? I would have gone to 456 to feel good about the expense but that’s just me. Adding a locker or 2? How much in labor is your shop hitting you for?

My local shop did my Dana 4:88s for $1540, parts and laybor. Most on the forum are getting them done between $1500-$1700.

the first place I called quoted $2600 and said the gladiators needed some special hardware. So I crossed them off my list. Then I found the place all the keep guys go. So do some research.

Assuming you got a good job, thats an exceptional deal! Book time and our regional labor rate is more than your whole job.......

pretty much everyone and their grandmother, that races or off roads, goes here. So I’m feeling good about the quality of work. The place had several custom crawlers inside. They are legit.

Seems like everyone else on this forum paid around the same price. So I would shop around. Like I said before, the first place was over a $1000. And they sounded like they new less about what they were doing.

it’s a 4-6hr job. So the labor shouldn’t be more than a $1000. I dropped mine off at 9am and picked it up at 1:30. Gears about $500.

I own a drivetrain shop, so I know whats involved...... $2k for a complete gear job w/ bearings and seals was 10 year's ago pricing.

5-6 hours per axle is the flat rate time. $120+hr for a quality shop in our area.

Well then I don't why I and everyone else on this forum and the Wrangler forums are getting regears done for around $1600, across the country. The place I took mine too is top notch, so I have no worries about the quality of work. This is all they do. axles and regears. My install was fpretty quick in comparison to what I see others getting. It does look like 4-6hrs per axle is the norm.

I should also mention there were three guys working on mine. So that would account for the faster assembly time. Originally he said it would take all day and I could pick it up that evening or the next morning.

Lets assume 10 hours, $1200. $500 for ring and pinion. That is pretty close to $1600.

I paid $2200 all in for parts and labor to go to 5.13’s. More than satisfied.

What was the turn around on the job?
