First day back to work in 7 weeks. Ugh

Yep
Well finally got over that junk only to turn around and get a bad sinus infection where I could barely breathe. If I laid at a certain angle on my couch with pillow support, junk would drain and I could kinda Darth Vader breath for the past few days. Ended up getting on some strong antibiotics as well.
Fucking school germs man. Sucks.

I need recommendations on places to get my Kings rebuilt. If the shop can be within DFW or Austin areas that is preferred. A couple web searches did find this place; anyone have experience with them?

FWIW he said they did his Radflos for $1150. Accutune was $1800 for my Kings and that didnt include me shipping them to them but did include return shipping.
Come and Take It!! Day

Fuck... damn near buy new ones for that price!
I don't have any suggestions but I should be looking.

New ones are more than double that rebuild price. Just like everything else, suspension parts have also sky rocketed in price.

Probably true... I have not priced new ones. I just know what I paid for mine.
The price and wait time for new ones is a bit crazy now. The current plan is to get the suspension rebuilt and do the regular LBJ maintenance all at the same time.
I send mine to Down South Motorsports in Cali only because they are certified to work on my specific Icon shocks. It's around $2k for me plus shipping for six of my shocks back in 2020 (I have no idea nor do I want to know, what it would cost to rebuild them now). Thankfully I don't drive the truck anymore so it'll be awhile before I have to send them in again (if I don't decide to go the Bilstein 8100 route instead of the Icons).@tex @Silverback @Anathollo

But I would think it'd be cheaper to rebuild your Kings because they don't have the specialized valving like mine do. But it's also dependent on how bad or good of a condition your shocks are in.
Imagine having to reverse to the top of Black Bear because of this Jackhole.
Delicious irony in the name though...

Well we picked up a 2023 Mazda CX-50 for the sammich maker today. It was a good deal with 14k miles on it. I did get the extended warranty so that I do not have to do any repairs for the next 75k miles. That was one of the key reasons to get her into a more worry-free situation while I am traveling than the 2006 Tacoma with 375k miles on it.
The Tacoma will be my driver for a few months while I get the 4Runner back into proper condition. Then I will see how much I can sell it for. After the Tacoma is gone I may have to install a turbo on the CX-50 as "regular maintenance at this mileage".

This week can hurry up and wrap up. Been a long week breaking in a new project at work.
