Am i getting bent-over with my pants down?

This is why I (And most people I know) DIY everything.
Sometimes I lament being a car type person, rather than someone who just drives a newer car and doesn't waste their life fixing old cars.
But then I read stuff like this, and think, there's no way I could do that.

My b2000 needed uni's done last week, thought it would be a cheap easy job to do so removed it and found it had a staked type uni so took it to engineer for repair quote, came back to me with 2 options.
Option one replace both end unis by machining them out and fitting new ones in and fitting new centre bearing but because of the size of new unis it will take less load than factory $750.
Option two replace complete drive shaft uni ends with after market ones and replace centre bearing but will be stronger than factory $1000.
I just about fell over when he told me my options, fair to say i told him to do neither option.

Bro ... that sucks. can you find another second hand one?
