My 98 sidekick has a stripped axle/ side gear. I can get a drive and axle shipped to Portland OR. On monday 10-31-05. Know anyone who could swap it?

Yes.  YOU can.

What better time to learn than now, and free yourself from throwing good money into something you can do yourself?

I can do it, but my time cost more than the shop.

Drop in the 3rd member, takes a couple of hours

Damn You  must be worth more than $100 dollars an hour.

  Wait a minute the guys time is worth too much and he is asking us to see who can do it for him?  Take it to any mechanic and call it good, remember your time is worth soo much that you can afford a mechanic to do medial jobs. A millionaire asking for assistance is way different than someone who has no money or skills to do the job himself.

It looks like you're in the Portland area. I'd suggest Leonard's Off-road in Aloha/Hillsboro. He does good work.
