The only positive thing about the dealer install is the 3-year warranty on the parts and labor. I agree that the cost is up there. When you order from the factory the cost was $3,400. At the factory you're not paying for the labor for the install. Actually, now the factory lift price is...

I was quoted $2,000 from one dealer and $2,700 from another. They both made it a point to say that it includes front end alignment. I was like yeah, no kidding.

Ice Cap (White) too many of them on the road. Not waiting for 2025 for Terra and the TRD factory Lift.

Thank you for the info. I am not educated yet in the SDM. Thankfully there is alot of good souls here to help out.

Wow that’s funny about the plates. Makes sense though. I actually got a quote from Montway too. Thanks for the feedback !

Yes, they offered to ship for 3500. Using a dispatch service. I did just get a quote for 2500 that I am considering and from what I gather it’s an actual owner with several drivers covering the US.

That's a long trip too. Probably 1200 miles? Did you change the break in oil on the way somewhere ?

Sweet! Love the Snorkel Scoop BTW......

Small World Is it not? That is a very generous offer. The truck I am looking at is in Eurkea California. Looks like it's a bit of a hike from where you are located. Maybe 10 hrs or so.

That's so funny. I was going to map out all the Toyota dealers from Cali to NJ for oil changes. Change at 500 miles then at 1,500 then I would be home. Thanks for the thoughts.

Thanks Guys. I am open to all ideas. The trip is about 2500 miles so with the cost of fuel and tolls I am sure it's going to be expensive.

Looking for a long-distance shipper. My perfect Taco is waiting for me in California, but I live in NJ. Does anyone have any experience or recommendations on an auto transport company? I have already tried Reliable Carriers, but they do not run that route. I would prefer enclosed trailer if...

I did not catch the Rear Locker in the manual. Makes sense. Thanks for pointing that out.

Looks really protected. Nice!

That's a good point. I am probably over thinking this way too much. Appreciate the thoughts.
