Is 4 Wheel Parts that bad?

TXMarine · 09-20-2011, 10:26 AM

First time posting in the Texas forum. I am looking for any input good or bad about 4wheel parts in the Houston area. I am getting closer to being able to purchase a lift kit and can't really do it myself for lack of tools, space and experience. Wanted to see what people had to say about going thru 4wheelparts for purchase and install. Any help is appreciated.

i dont mind buying parts from them i just wouldnt want them working on my truck.

Save your money and do it yourself. No tools or space, then keep an eye out for any wrench meets around town and do the lift there with the help of other Tacoma owners.

How close are you to Pearland?

TXMarine · 09-20-2011, 11:30 AM

Close enough to take a drive to pearland. Used to live there for a bit.

If they could mess up a light bar they need to close up shop.

Rims/tires are pretty hard to mess up too. and thry do rims/tires all day long so im sure they could do that.

Once again...dont let them work on your truck. Do it yourself or have a reputable shop do it.

I wouldn't have them do installs, but I have purchased a couple of large items from them to avoid shipping costs.

St. Swervus · 09-20-2011, 02:18 PM

No problems with my local one.

KPT · 09-20-2011, 02:19 PM

Some fun ones. There's plenty more but I don't have the time to dig them up.
