    Law, this is a great idea. Maybe you should have a post near the top and add names of people who are recommended to do business with so people don't have to search the whole thread? I'm sure there will be a lot of positive posts to read through. Just a suggestion. Lots of great people on here. @GNTundra hooked me up with some free stock UCAs for my pavement princess. He sent me shipping and tracking info and I paypalled him the cost of shipping. Would gladly purchase stuff from him again!

    Add @Sean266 to the preferred sellers list. He played the role of intermediary when I bought the lightly used Boss 2.0's off of the Toytec truck, and did so very well.

    Moved my personal experience with Tommy. Cleaned up the OP.

    Just bought a used TRD rear Sway bar from @Hattori

    We talked beforehand and agreed on a price. We were originally going to meet up halfway between us, but that fell through, so Tommy ended up shipping it my way. After receiving it, I sent him a personal check since neither one of us remembered our PayPal sign in LOL

    Wouldn't hesitate to buy from Tommy again!

    got @joonbug almost didn't include @dcsleeper408 since it was his services and not a product. But what the hell, if he does good honest work, he most likely does the same in shipping! LOL

    Dude your services were A+
    @dcsleeper408 installed my suspension. That's the service he performed. If anyone needs any work done in the Bay Area feel free to hit him up. Quality stuff.

Anyone considering to do business with this man, don't hesitate. You will not be sorry. Definitely a fn awesome dude to deal with. If you are nervous about doing any type of business with him, don't be. I'd put my reputation on the line that you will not be sorry. Some guys you can just tell they're trustworthy and great people, Joe is one of these people.

    @dcsleeper408 what kind of work do you do? I am wanting to do the 488 gears front and rear and i am researching a good reputable shop that can do the work with confidence, do a clean install, complete the work with no leaks and no new gear " whining" or clunking! and most of all treat my rig with respect! Sorry, just a little OCD, and i have not had good luck with lift install. I would appreciate any recommendations too, thanks.

    @Law323 fell short on me. He was supposed to make me badass...

    BUT...
    @gosolo and @1UPPER hooked me up proper. Get them up there.

    @gosolo is not only 1 solid individual but he dropped something at UPS before I even sent the check. Guaranteed it's not a common practice of his, but he knows this forum typically breeds good folks

    @1UPPER sent me something and was hard to get in touch with afterwards, but after finally getting back in touch there was nothing but positive vibes from him. Went above and beyond. My originally jaded attitude was very hasty. He was just having some long days and wasn't on here very much. MY BAD BRO! Didn't mean to slander you unduly. He really is a reliable seller.
