    Definitely not $2400 for labor. Was expecting between $1000-$1500.

    I found another shop today that is pretty reputable, they quoted me $950

    Ironman Foam Cell Pro suspension, Anso black headlight housings, l.e.d. headlights, black taillights, Demello steel front bumper with highlight 7" l.e.d. round lights, Diode Dynamics Amber SS3 Pro lights, Hooke Road steel rear bumper with Nighlight reverse lights, Hooke Road roof rack, Ultima Aluminum toolbox, Weathertech floor mats, EGR in channel ventshades, Snorkel, K&N air filter and cabin air filter, 265/75/16 Cooper ST Maxx, Firestone ride rite airbags, Bentrodders bed reinforcements, too many other things to remember.
    That $950 include everything?

    Gotta add in the alignment that's usually $125-300 depending on how much adjustments they have to make, especially with a completely new suspension, uca's, $120+ for mount and balance of four oversized tires. It's not just labor cost.

    They are a offroad shop so that's what they do everyday, all day. Just like 4WheelParts they're going to charge more than other garages. It's your truck, your choice. $2,400 seems a little steep but $950 for all that seems way too low for a reputable garage to charge. Just my 2 cents. I've done plenty of lift kits on Tacoma's, 4Runners's and other trucks over the years. Also fabricated rock sliders, bumpers, and other offroad gear for many vehicles, done ECGS clamshells, Cab mount chops, etc...

    Welcome!
    Main-Line will rape you and they don’t specialize in just Tacomas. I’d go with the other quote - much more reasonable.

    That said, there’s nothing you want done with the exception of an alignment and the tires that couldn’t be done on a mod day with a bunch of us. That basically would cost a case of beer or so. ;)

    They quoted me $1200 per diff for regear-labor only. Thanks but not thanks. I considered getting my RTT through them since they have a showroom. It was during COVID, but they had strict bankers hours and it was appointment only. I don't think they cater to a working class crowd...

    I've hosted numerous times in the past. Pre-covid it was like a bi-monthly thing. :(

    Been a while but I'd definitely like to have one once the weather gets nice again.

    Usually do them on Sundays and it's never a bad time hanging out with TW folks. :D

    Pipersville Pa and Pottsville Pa. I would probably try to live somewhat close to reading as I have some friends and family there.
