    Does anyone know if there are any shops that service/rebuild suspension in Reno? Assuming the fox service center will service truck related stuff (have only used them for MTB shocks so far). I dont like the idea of having to ship rebuildable shocks out every 30 to 40k miles.

    Went into Truck Envy the other day to check it out. Asked about the cost to do a BMC on a tundra. Didn't know what a BMC was.

    Eek thats not a good sign. One of the guys at battle born wheels in Carson did my CMC on my Tacoma for 150 bucks 3 or so years ago. Not sure if they are still doing it.

    my jeep buddies use dr smash designs in Carson for all their fab work.

    You could see if Eric at Relentless Fabrication would be willing. I know he did a few for some TacomaWorld members, but not sure if it was because they were friends.

    They are just selling the bracket. They recommended Nates Precision for the install. I just asked at envy to get an idea of where their costs were.

    Any Reno/Sparks peeps have a recommendation for a shop to repair a door ding? My wife’s 2022 4Runner got one that might be beyond the paintless dent repair process. Going to be in town today (1/20) and have some time to take by some places. Thanks

    I have a non-TRD skid plate (Radiator Support Splash Shield) that I'm willing to sell locally. LMK if you're interested.

    Going to Moab next week and wanted to take Hwy50 through Nevada. Took 80 last year and didn’t like how it went through SLC. But damn google wants me to go through Vegas cuz it’s faster by 50 minutes but about 50 miles longer.

    Is Hwy50 a slower road? Will I have to drive slow for ice or something?

    50 is 2 lanes and slows when going through some old towns. Shouldn’t see any ice or snow in the road. I personally take it when heading to UT. It is called the loneliest highway for a reason though.

    Damn 2 lanes? That's a lot of playing chicken on the road :monocle:

    You can haul the mail on 50 with the exception of a few towns, and very little "playing chicken".

    I have a set of front bumper caps (chrome) and fog lights from a 2020 Limited. I'm looking to get rid of. LMK if interested. I have the cap specific clips for the liner as well.

    Well, heck. I wish this thread was around when I went home to see my family and help my mom with my grandfather's estate. I definitely could have used some tundra buddies there:)

    For landscape+hardscape I have heard good things about Gail Willey. Pavers by Porter (for hardscape) does good work but is pretty backed up, when I checked for myself. Hardscape and drainage is definitely the area to focus on.

    Can anybody recommend an alignment shop that doesn't use the modern method (laser reflector mounted to wheel)? IMO, that scratches wheels and would rather not have it done that way. In my previous city, there was an alignment shop that painted a line on your tire tread and used that for reference while aligning.

    Not sure of the method used but I have taken my Taco and Tundra to Ayres in Sparks. They have always done a good job and are willing to listen to requests based on mods (when outside normal spec ranges).
