    4x4 taco and 96 ford bronco
    ATO front skid (need more but icon's might fail if I hang anything else from my truck) All-Pro front bumper thanks to a good deal here and a pesky encounter with a rock or 20, total chaos uppers.
    So I have the front diff growl again and refuse to have Toyota fix it just so it will fail again in a year. Looking to switch to the bushing fix that east coast gears offers. Can anyone recommend a shop in OC preferably but willing to drive to get it right once And for all!
    Thanks

    Thanks for the recommendations, I'm not against driving for good work. Just trying to find a shop that's familiar with the issue and fix.
