    Got my truck Saturday night... 3 weeks late, not finished 100%, obviously not done right, so many set backs. The gears got fucked while they were "test driving it", they ended up installing 4.56s. They had trouble getting the brakes 100%, the list goes on...
    I found them on Instagram, a friend of mine got a front bumper done there, I saw the work and I took the chance.

    glad im not the only one who thinks the front end on the new 2016s is ugly as shit.. i hate the skinny headlights with the monster grill and the protruding nose cone look... i wanna see how fiberglass fenders are gonna look on these.. since the bumper is kinda built into the fenders..

    They have 1 yelp review and it is hilarious:

    "Horrible shop no one know anything thing in there Edgar is the "owner" but don't know anything about the off road industry they do more damage then good they take the trucks to a hole in the wall alignment shop the only charges $35 for any alignment my opinion they should not be in the business and we have the illegal immigrants working in the back... so do yourself a favor and stay away from Baja works off road"

    Yes
    yes, but not uncommon for cars and trucks to have the ball joint adapter actually a bolt on piece to the LCA. I'm pretty sure that what everyone is reacting too is that the uniball attached to the spindle single shear just to that one tab on the spindle.

    Thanks, I took it there also cause is close to my house. I hate driving for hrs just to drop off my truck and having the wife follow me with 2 month old baby just to drive back home for a few hrs again.

    Wow on the racial profiling part.... Well, beware!! Don't take your truck there. Live and learn for me. Now I gotta dig a lil deeper into the pocket to get this fixed.

    Shouldn't be too expensive to get a few tubes added, and finish some welding as well and re-building the shock mounts. Just have to make sure the rear suspension is cycled properly for shock clearances.
