    Hi everyone,

    I am looking to buy and upgrade a tacoma for the Squamish/Vancouver area. My goal is as follows. I would like a hybrid front bumper (maybe Pelfreybilt) and a rear high-clearance bumper. I love the look of prerunner Tacomas.

    My only questions are as follows: can anyone recommend to me a local Vancouver, BC shop that can install everything for me, including suspension upgrades, the bumpers, and tires? I am also wondering how to ship Pelfreybilt products into Canada.

    I am going for this type of look:

    I totally forgot to ask this as well: which year Tacoma is best for my vision to become reality? I was thinking something between 2014 and 2016. I would love to hear everyone's opinion with respect to the TRD models. Do I need this upgraded version since I will be ripping out the back and front bumpers and replacing the shocks and tires?

    We can help you! We are a dealer for Pelfreybilt, as well as do our own custom fab work, suspension, electrical etc etc. I'm also totally happy to just hear what your goals are and point your build in the right direction if you want!

    Our shop is located in Cloverdale. A small drive from Squamish. Shipping parts up through us will also be a lot cheaper than @coopcooper 's experience! That's crazy! o_O

    Definitely feel free to shoot me a PM
