    Can vouch for @Anthony250 . He's rebuilt Kings for me. When I dropped it off and picked it up he was very professional and meticulous. I believe he was also working on laoturks new 4runner when I saw him and he was very thorough with everything he was doing. Great dude.

    I'm in a similar spot.... also in OC area. DMZ was mind boggling... few other places didn't sound like they do anything beyond bolt on. It seems like its almost a mission impossible to find someone that actually knows their stuff and is affordable now days. What did you end up building?

    No - but it's not cheap if you go with a reputable spot.

Hopefully be put together by the end of summer

    Has he done a 1st gen Tacoma - it's that 52.5" distance from the front hanger to the shackle hanger in the rear which not all guys will know, by if you search on here it will pop up - I'll look for it later when I'm not on my phone and tag you if I get a chance. Search "sua 1st gen rear" something similar to that has a thread with TC's write up.

    there are all types of price ranges for work it’s just a matter of contacting shops. By the time I found a reputable shop and Was done collecting parts, I had saved more and more, so Money was no longer a limiting factor. KDM is doing my rear cage and fiberglass install my appointment date is coming up!! they’re friendly and helpful they’re just super busy, book in advance! highly recommended. Pics will be posted!!!

    Home built Mid Travel Front and rear, need help new to this
    Long time no post,
    I had a buddy who does fab work on the side do my rear end. I have h70s spring under, hard part for me was i am using a 1st Gen tundra Axle to my springs are mounted on the outside of the frame which is good for stability but harder to make work since no one made a kit like they do for the 2nd gen tacomas aka DMZ.
    Anyways hit me up on ig @mon_t_ze can see video of it jumping and i'll send pics of my set up.
    i had all parts and he didn't charge me much, but not sure what price he would give to other people.

    It’s not easy when you either have all the money but no time or time with no money! Ran into a bunch of immaturity in a couple key people at my last position and it’s definitely set me back in my build timeline from having to find a new job. Just keep doing your thing man. Been working on my truck over 2.5 years with another .5 to go so do what you can and it hopefully can happen eventually.
