    The Truck Shop and ORW are way out of the question.

    I'm leaning toward SRD because I've heard great things about them and I'm closer to them since I'm in the North County area. McNeil is my second choice so far. I'm getting my Tundra supercharged in about 2 weeks and I want to plan ahead for my next upgrade: TC LT w/ Kings and glass fenders.

    Check out member speedfreak, Jason is a former ASE tech and has done multiple installs of various difficulty with glowing reviews.
    Pelfreybilt offroad sends their customers to him to have the shock relocations mounted.

    Thanks! I'll have to hit him up. I've skimmed a few posts on these forums praising his work. I wonder if he can do a full LT/King install.

    I actually live basically in Poway; technically I'm in Carmel Mountain.

    Just got a smoking deal on billie 5100's for all 4 corners, looking to have them installed. I am in the Ocean Beach area. Any referrals on a decent shop? I don't have all the tools for this job.

    Eymos IS THE MAN!! Had him installed and he was even nice enough to drive me to work at 6am in Scrips Ranch. I will be sure to send my work to him from now on. Great guy, stellar work. Thanks eccracer.

    PM Speedfreak. Jason has done engine work, suspension work, and fabrication work on a few Tacomas I've owned.

    To the above poster: Jason can handle any of your LT install needs. He's done a full MT install with bypasses for me as well as a full tear down and rebuild of my current truck's LT front end.

    Thanks for the compliments!

    Anything you guys need just lemme know, I have TONS of experience with 1st and 2nd gen trucks.

    Yes I can do any kind of install of suspension and engine work, and also previously a Toyota/Lexus Master tech.

    I work out of my home shop so my prices are very fair. PM me if I can help anyone out! I'm also a welder BTW.

    Jeez, its been a while since I bumped this thread, with the new format everything sorta got mixed up.

    Still here guys, anybody needs engine work, suspension installs, bumper/slider installs and or welding, just PM me and I would be more than happy to get it done for you.

    Thanks for all your support guys, I really appreciate all the work I have received from all of you!

    I'm not sure if Jason is still doing this work 6 years later or not? Haven't heard from him, maybe he is out of town.

    Any recommendations? I don't need installs, just maintenance. I'm having vibration issues in my truck. Feels like I'm driving over rumble strips, almost like the engine is loose

    I just left his garage. Got a CM chop and Viper cut. The chop was perfect, no rubbing whatsoever on 33s and a 2.5 inch lift. Really good guy, I highly recommend using his services. https://imgur.com/utn9u7s

    why're you out on Truck Shop? I've used them a couple times (i'm also in north county) and they've been great - plus have free loner vehicles if you've gotta leave your truck there. i'm open to hearing about other shops up this way that are a little closer by and have good recs, my cousin recommended truck shop and thats all i had to go off of

    cheers
