Is this a good price for gear install?

1700 is the exact quote I got from OK4WD in Jersey.
At this time that much money is better spent elsewhere, however if a reputable shop quoted 1000 for everything I would be there yesterday.

That price is about right, we charge around 1200 (labor, pinion bearings and gear oil) if you bring your own gears, our labor rate is $83/ hour.

Here's what I was quoted (shop in Indiana, came highly recommend by a couple of JK owners that had gear swaps done about a year ago without issues):
Gears and Kits (front & rear) - $640
Gear Swap Labor - $500

Gear Swap Labor - $500

gears
Just had mine done by Eric at Freaky Tree Offroad in Manassas. Brought the gears to him (from Northridge). Was alot less expensive than $1700...... and you can watch him do them if you want to wait. After seeing him do them, I will not pay again, I will buy a couple of tools I don't have and do it myself.
Also some one else just got theirs done at Manassas Jeep. Pretty good price discount for novajeepers (20% or so I've heard)
