    How's it going my fellow Tundra lovers? Any recommendation on a reputable shop in the Los Angeles area that can install Nitro Gear and ARB rear locker? Thanks in advance.

    Define LA area. Beach cities or the Valley of the Dirt People? Demello is great shop but might be a bit of haul depending on where you are. They might be able to point you in a good direction though.

    Yeah that's where my friends with LC and 4R goes to. I just don't know if they're familiar with Tundras there. I just want to get things done properly the first time around.

    I'm going to use yotamasters, but they might be too far for you. Being in Temecula I dont have a choice lol

    Really great recommendations, but a tad bit too far from me. I'll definitely keep them on the possible to go to list

    I have to go see Jeff at Deaver. That is always a pain in my azz. My favorite alignment shop is in El Cajon, that sucks too. My main fabricator, DMZ, is in Norco fml

    At least I have a local toyota mechanic that I trust lol

    Yeah man definitely, having a trusted mechanic is a must. I can do the basic stuff, but gears and differentials? Wouldn't plan on touching it unless I get more experience plus having a buddy that knows what he or she is doing.

    It's hard to find a shop that will go out of their way to dial in custom alignment numbers. I use El Cajon Frame and Axle. They do commercial trucks so they have racks that fit my long travel truck. Lol they use plumb bobs and string. It's pretty dope to watch them work
