    Hi, my name's Fletcher and after lots of research I bought my first Toyota a few months ago, a 2003 Tacoma double cab 4x4 with 86,000 miles. I want to ask y'all if you know of any shops in the Atlanta area that could do some work for me:

    1. Install new timing belt, water pump, hoses, and head gasket
    2. Install icon stage 4 suspension
    3. Install relentless armor

    I had local shop quote me $1,450 just in labor for the suspension install (quote was for OME lift, not icon) and $3,000 for the parts and labor for the timing belt and head gasket. I feel like those quotes are fairly high, but the shop has a good reputation from what I've read.

    Thanks!

    1450 just for 6 hours of work seems a little crazy. Not sure about the head gasket and timing belt though, those are pretty annoying to work with.

    Do it all yourself. Look up how to do the timing belt on youtube. Watch that video memorize it, purchase or make that special tool that's required.

    Then install your suspension, super easy matter of taking off a few bolts.

    Also install your armor, should just be a matter of taking out bolts and putting the armor on. Now if it's sliders, you're going to need to get a welder to weld those on
