You are looking at $1,000 plus for whole job on 4x4. Rates will vary drastically with where you go, and how long it takes the mechanic. Some places are straight $ per job ( most mechanics ) and some are actually by the hour.

Well gears are the type of job if you haven't done it before, or don't have somebody helping who has, can be a major pain in the rear to do, especially shimming them in correctly so don't get gear whine afterwards.

Yeah gears are not to be done in your driveway. If you do your own gears and think it is drop and go, please do me a favor and put "I did my own gears" on your tailgate so I know not to follow close. You have pinion depth and backlash that needs to be measured. I would say I am a fairly good garage mechanic but I would never attempt gears on my own.

Yea i just watched what all gear swaps entail and id definately try it but you need special tools and a good amount of time so its sure as hell not for the novice oil changer hahaa
