Thoughts on this quote from my local shop?

That quote definitely isnt cutting you any slack.

 

Take that $7k and go Kings, Total Chaos UCAs, deaver leaf pack, 16" SCS Ray10s and some 285/75 muds. Such a better build for same coin.

 

So he can be a clone of every other 3rd Gen?

 

shiiiit...every other 3rd gen wishes

 

Not that I think it's a bad setup. Or a bad looking setup. Just seems like everyone runs it. Maybe ko2s instead of muds but yeah.

 

35's and no regearing your not going far off road....

 

What's wrong with looking normal. Every other Tacoma I see is lifted with large tires, plasti-dipped to hell with an overweight plate bumpers or camper shell. I'm okay with tasteful mods like
1-2 in. Lift, 30-33 in tires.

 

It's no one off setup by any means but "everyone" is not running $4000 in suspension...lets be honest. I get the whole draw of being unique but you can't let TW skew the numbers for you. Tacos rolling on Kings statistically are few and far between.

 

I didn't even notice the tires. That's insane. I got all 4 AT3's for $400 last Spring

 

Show me where you got 35s for 100 each so I can stock up.

 

Ah, didn't see they were 35's. Mine are 265/75/16's. Nevermind

 

+1

$285/tire for 35x12.5s isn't out of the ordinary.

 

Yeah, but that still seems WAY too high to me. A buddy of mine (it's the internet, doesn't everyone have a buddy? lol) runs a 4-wheel shop, and for run of the mill lifts like this, they quote 5 or 6 hours all day long. Double that seems ludicrous to me. Sure, you might occasionally go over that 5-hour mark, but double? I'm *hoping* they put extra in there as a buffer - but again, this doesn't make much sense, and when shops do that, they usually only add an hour or two extra.

 

Yeah, I should have worded my original post a bit better, as I was attempting to make fun of the ridiculous labor estimate *and* the extra time for clearancing. But beer happened. I make no apologies.

 

I've price checked better tires in that size.

Plus 35" AT3's is gonna look silly.

 

Didn't notice any of this on the invoice.

 

Shop it around brother. There is money to be saved here and you want that $$ for other mods. Amirite?

 

Now here's

Craigslist ??? 1/4 tread left ? With chunkies ? And sides sliced ? It may be true

 

Thanks!

 

Any picture of what the truck looks like?
