The aluminum cases have gone way up. I bought mine about 10-12 years ago when they first came out. I think it was around $600-700? Can't remember exactly. Mancini wants $1,100 for it now. I have a Victory billet 7290 yoke they want $160 for. That was also way less too, maybe $100-125? Mine has an Auburn sure grip ($400? back then maybe, now about $500?) and Strange Pro Street gears, maybe $175? Plus the bearing kit and seals, usually around $125+ for Timken.
I built it myself, so no labor involved for me. But, I have the T&D pinion setup tool which is really expensive, like $400. It works great though, the generic pinion depth tools are not so good. Also have the adjuster spanner from Randy's and a Miller yoke holder.
I was a tech up until about a year and a half ago so I used some of the tools at work but never used the pinion tool. Hard to justify that one.
