    ^ You don't want to know. In order to really enjoy a LT truck, you need to reinforce everything and protect the most important part. That would be you, you'll need to make sure to cage the truck if you want to utilize the build 100%.

    There is a reason why its called " The never ending build". You have set $ aside for things that are going to break and if you use the truck, things will break.

    There is a reason why LT trucks hit the for sale threads when they're not 100% done. If I were to guess on what else is needed to somewhat complete this build, there is another 20-25K needed. I mean. . . full cage and bbk is already going to run up the bill. Then all the little details will add up quickly. Front and rear bumpers and heck, the list goes on and on. . .

    Depending on what exact options you wanted to do a full Tacoma build front and rear LT, fiberglass, bumpers, tires/wheels youd be looking a the 30k-40k range. You can head to our website www.dirtkingfabrication.com and check out the "Build Packages" section on the top right corner, that will outline a few of our most common packages

    Brakes are wise, but suggesting a cage is necessary to use a street truck with a LT setup to its potential is silly. This isn't a race truck, adding a LT setup doesn't make it a suitable platform for going 100mph through the desert. You can push these vehicles safely quite far with the OEM safety features they provide.

    Non Taco post, but pretty much the same kit. Still need the fenders obviously, and my first impression is I mounted the bumps a 1/4" lower than they should be, but we'll see how it does in the near future. Think I have the ride height where it needs to be. Back to work for 3 weeks straight so this thing is on the back burner for now. All new cams were delivered from Toyota, so the alignment can be done when I get back. Gotta cover up that TC logo in the back. Need some more DK decals hint hint lol

    Very clean install! Check tire clearance at full lock and full bump at that bypass resi since that isnt our spec shock. Looks like it should be ok though. PM me your full name and address and I will get you some goodies out, thank you for the support!
