Sounds like the dealer. Console, exhaust, cross-members, transfer case and tranny, then re-assemble. Find an independent shop and see if they are up to the challenge. Offer a base price, just so they can see if they want to do more. 17 hrs. X $100+ dealer = $1700+. 17 hrs. X $55-$75 independent= $950 - $1300.

Newer vehicle, different assembly methods. More to move in the newer model, electrics, interior, etc. Plastic parts more costly too! The older vehicles were made so 90% of the world could dismantle and repair off-road and continue. The newer ones I believe are dealer $ insured.
Hi, according to autodata,remove and install gearbox is 5 hours auto(4.05 manual)for a 4 litre,if they are just changing the gearbox , time to remove and install transfer box will have to be added say approx 1+ hours ,17 hours does seem a bit steep however if they are not an agent allowing for not being used to doing them allow 8-9 hours also you could buy a manual online from ALLDATA and it gives the recommended times there aswell.
