    Anyone have a good shop they like in Orange County? I've got everything planned out and called two shops this morning to see about timelines and neither called back. Not to be petty, but I'm planning to spend 10k+ in the first phase of my truck and easily another 10k after that so its always a little off-putting when a shop doesn't have time to take a call.

    Don't call anyone until you have references, which I see you are doing now. Enough positive references, maybe understand they are busy. But find someone you can treasonably trust on a shop before you drop that coin.

    What is it that you are doing? If you want to get the most dialed in suspension you can for a Tundra id talk to the dudes at Camburg. Keep in mind they are always busy, and always building some sort of race truck so if you have to talk to the front desk person or leave a message dont feel like thats shitty customer service, they will get back to you.

    If you are doing lighting and stuff like that id hit up Greg from "wiredbygreg" on instagram. Hes the shit at that stuff.

    If you need a shop that does everything from suspension, to motor swaps and knows toyotas more than anywhere you need to go to Yotamasters in corona. They regeared my FJ, do maintenance i cant do myself and know their shit. Really fair pricing from them as well and quick turnarounds. They are so popular theyre normally booked 2 months out just fyi.

    When i decide to lift my tundra and throw a locker in it im going to take it to Yotamasters. If i was doing a crazy long travel setup id go to Camburg. When i decide to put a bunch of baja designs and a switch pros in my Tundra im taking it to Greg.

    has ended up being a great recommendation so far, chatted with Joseph a couple times this week and he's been very helpful.

    Too many, but not enough....
    Yotamasters in Corona specializes in Toyotas but i havent been there, Liberty offroad in Norco is a general father and son offroad shop, cant speak highly enough about them and seriously the best alignments on the planet. I went to the alignment shop that Yotamasters outsources to and it was absolutely horrible. I know you said OC but it's right next door.

    I just dropped 10k. City Garage did the lift wheels and tires. They have all the metal fab tools including powdering coating.

    I got them from Koritas Tires. I believe they are in the Yucaipa area. KMC's that aren't or weren't released yet.

    Yep, machined wheels are the next trend. Black wheels are tired.

    I agree, been there done that years ago. I was thinking about going bronze, but I like the machined raw look for now. Speaking of wheels anyone want to buy some brand new 22 Tundra TRD Pro wheels and tires? I can't post in the for sale for 30 days.

    Ditto, I was really close to getting the machined methods with the black bead lock.

    Sean from Kaizen Off-road in Huntington Beach. Just finished doing my TRD pro. Very technical and has extensive knowledge with different setups. Works only on tundras and Tacomas. In the same building you have a shop that did all my lights and electrical and a company that built my roof rack and bed rack. Super convenient. Dm me for their info.

    +1 for Jason and his crew. Bought a front bumper from them and had them add an S8 plus Squadrons. Great work. Super honest dudes. Jason dropped me off and picked me up from a nearby hotel I was staying at in Riverside. Great customer service and overall good dudes to chat with.
