    Hey gang, looking for a shop recommendation to start tricking out the truck for offroading. Any suggestions would be awesome. Thanks ahead.

    Depends what kind of "tricking out" you're trying to do. What area?
    I know a good guy in Santa Monica for suspension/electrical work.

    Mods? Yes, oh yes..
    Yeaaaa gonna have to say start searching and reading the different builds and what it took to make it happen. You might need a fabricator or a tire shop or electronics. There are a bunch of members locally (again search is your friend) that sell/do various work or sell off road gear. Again depending on your needs, the best way to get help here is to make sure you have fully researched beforehand because there have been so, so many that have gone before you, their tales and tribulations are posted here for you to heed their advice.

    You should probably go off-road once before you think you need to play it safe.
