    Yeah, I don't expect the work given free to me and they shouldn't expect me to give extra money for free.

    Found a guy that will do an install the same day (with an appointment obviously) and is charging me $385 an axle and comes well recommended from the Jeep community. I'll go to his shop Monday when I am off an see his work. This sounds about right $600 an axle was way to high.

    Yeah, that is about what one guy will charge me to do the gear install. I am pretty sure it'll total to 400 once taxes are added in. I got quoted $385 and axle.

    LMAO That probably why 249 Drivetrain asked for so much. Or maybe he just could grasp the concept that I had a 2016 Toyota Tacoma, because he kept telling me ok on your 2015 Toyota Tundra. Told him 3 times it was a Tacoma. Maybe I am going mute... Hmm... who knows lol
