What did your regear cost

When you regear there may be more to it than just a regear. You can find offers for one thousand dollars for a regear. Then when you arrive, they recommend replacing the bearings, seals, etc. Bottom line: Plan on $1500 or so for a properly done job except on the newest of Jeeps (then that thousand dollar deal may be alright).

It would be generous of you to specify what you replaced. Having just purchased a gearset for my rear axle, I'm pretty familiar with what you can get and how much it will cost. And $400 won't cover parts for a full regear, master bearing kit, seals and maybe rear axle bearings. Not trying to call you out, per se, but it's more helpful if you're more forthright with what exactly you did and why you chose that path. It may, in fact, be the perfect path for you--but maybe not for that other guy. :-)

My first regear (in Texas) cost $800 out the door. My second regear (in Colorado) cost $1600. You will read about several companies who are doing it for $1000. Many people, especially from the east coast and upper northwest, report paying up near $3000. Gears only, no traction, three grand.
But none of those figures should mean anything to you.
Unless you are up for a cross country drive, it just doesn't matter what any of us paid. What matters is what 'your' local shops charge. What parts they use. What their warranty policy is. Whether they stand behind their work. Talk to them all and get recommendations and reviews, don't just automatically jump on the lowest price!!
Also, if you currently have a d30 and 3.21's, you will need a new carrier for it.
