    Been working in Torrance for 2 weeks....must've seen 20 tacos that would qualify as worthy....usually I'm too late to grab a pic since the streets are garbage down there and I'm bouncing all over the place
    Lifted 3rd Gen today near avalon and the 91, black on black on black (my people!) Think he threw up a peace sign. Could've been vulcan. Anyways sorry I was on the phone and saw you last minute.

    Have been getting my alignment done here for quite a while. Always get the lifetime alignment. I know @uhplifted got his done there too. I've got after market suspension and larger tires. Actually going there today after work to make some adjustments. Never had an issue. Most Firestone's won't touch my truck, but this place has always been good. Ask for James.

    Bear brake & alignment. Corona. Legit! It's a drive for me but it's perfect! Dudes know there shit. And fuck firestone. There's only a couple of good alignment techs at some firestones. The rest blow. My local Yorba Linda one won't even touch a modified truck.

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    I'm pretty sure I saw a big lifted white first gen with cage on the 71S today... noonish? I didn't realize he was there until I was looking in the rear view mirror at him.

    :woot: Finally spotted someone who is actually on here! I was the red DCSB that was along side you just after the 163/15 merge near miramar. I got in the lane to your right and it was clear, as I got closer I noticed the TW sticker and frantically tried to pull out my phone to get a picture haha. Traffic and the rain was not working well with the picture taking though.

    If you haven't seen it you should check out our Thursday night meets at Brewskis next to The Truck Shop :cheers:

    i always go to the one in glendora....they are the only ones that can get my truck up to 95% back into alignment.

    Johnson's alignment in Torrance. Corner of Hawthorne and 190th.
    Pricey and long wait but they do race cars and trucks. Spot on alignments and custom specs not a problem for them

    Is that the one on imperial and yorba Linda? If so fuck the managers their. The techs were ready to do the alignment but the manager was a total dick to them and me and told me basically "you've done too many modifications to your truck we can't do anything to it." Fuck them.

    Just don't go to them for installing upper control arms...from experience.

    I also recommend Tucker Tire in West Covina for alignments. They know their shit.
