    so here it is.... I have been on the forum for a while now and absolutely love it and the people too. I am a 12v install manager and have been for 22 years and can audio video security and remote start on just about any vehicle boat or even etc. 12v is my specialty and work on cars when it comes to the electronics or wiring but I am not a mechanic. I am def mechanically inclined because I have to be but I don't know the mechanic side of things. Growing up never had the person to show me the ins and outs around the suspension side or under the hood. I have a 2015 Tacoma limited and love it but this request is not for me but for my wife. So she has a 2016 Wrangler and have been talking to a couple places about doing a lift wheels and tires. Can pm me for more details but what I'm looking for is someone that does this for a living or can refer me to a place in dfw ( I'm at 75 and gb Plano Richardson area ) or a person to talk to. I have a list of things that was recommended and wanted to chew the fat with someone to see what they think and possibly get this done. I know that this is for a jeep but I have the Tacoma and was just reaching out. Not looking for free work but not looking to pay retail either. All the details of what I have listed and what I'm wanting to accomplish can be talked to in person text or pm. Any help or referral what be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks david

    A bunch a cool stickers, a bada ass MetalMiller Tx Longhorns grill emblem painted Hemi Orange, JBA long tube headers with o2 sims, Diff breather mod, Red LED interior lights, Fancy head unit that plays ipod n movies, Also DIY install factory stuff like, factory cruise control, factory intermittent wipers, OME nitro struts with 886x springs and toy tec top plate, JBA high caster UCA's for better alignmnet and dey beefier too, Old Man Emu Dakar leaf springs in da rear with the gear, U bolt flipper, Ivan Stewart TRD rims with 33" K Bro 2's, some bad ass weather tech floor liners so I don't muck up my interior, an ATO shackle flipper for mo travel in da rear wit the gear, also super shiny Fox 2.0 shocks back there too, all sorts of steal armor for bouncing off of the rocks like demello sliders, AP front skid, trans skid, n transfer skid, demello gas tank skid, and a tough as nails ARB bumper with warn 8k winch, I'm sure there's more
    If you want some guidance, I can help. Not sure if you're willing to travel to me for the install, but I will def be way cheaper than any shop. PM me if you're interested and we can exchange contact info.

    I think I sort of in the same boat minus electrically inclined. I'm in Allen/Plano area and been looking at a lift as well. I wonder if there's a two for one deal!

    Fat Lip Customs in Haltom City has always been very reasonable with me, they have worked on 4 of my vehicles ranging from window tint to a full 7" lift install on my F150.

    Tandem only works on Yotas.

    @Do58 Your best bet would be to reach out to North Texas Jeep Club and ask them. Lift install on a Wrangler is a pretty simple evolution. The weekend after a buddy and I installed an OME kit on my Tacoma in 8 hours I helped him install an OME lift on a Wrangler in 4.

    Dallas Off Road in Lewisville works mostly on Jeeps. They seem to be a straight forward group of guys.
