If you did the work yourself you could build that for less. Now, if you paid a shop to do the work, it would cost more than that.

We all probably know way too much about each others rigs because we live on this forum, but it does make it nice when we go wheel because we don't have to stand in the parking lot and do a walk around of each rig. We can just hit the trail!

I think you'd be surprised at just how fast you'd be @ or more than the asking price. There's $15-18K in axles alone...

If you do the work yourself you wouldn't have that much in axles. Now if you bought them from say ECGS then yes, you're pushing $20k in axles.

I've been pricing building Dana 60's and Sterling or 14B for a while now. Here in the PNW you're not touching a pair of axles for less then $1200 and most times they're $1500 to $2K. Now you need gears & lockers and setup kits & shave kit & hubs and bearings and ball joints or BLE's and $$$$ it all adds up...
And since this is a PNW Jeep I'm basing my prices off that.

Yes I've seen axles go for half our prices in the southeast.

Yea those axles are less than $1000 here for the pair.
