    Hello,

    Looking for rock sliders and a place to install them. I would like to see some in person before I purchase; dunno if that's possible.

    Anyone have any good shops in the bay area (I'm in Mountain View, but I'll drive) they would recommend or have used?

    Are there any brands in particular that are better than the other?

    Thanks all! This will technically be my third mod! So far, just new wheels and a bed extender....not too crazy but I'll get there I'm sure!

    a good shop is SWAT Customs in Fremont. he dont have too many things in stock to see, but he can show you what you need on the computer. and his installs are top notch, and cheap prices (he can beat any prices)

    you can yelp.com the shop. good reviews...
