    Hey! My name is Brandon. I’m a new member to the Tacoma world forum, but I’ve been lurking here for a year or so. Mostly whenever I had a question I needed answered haha. From SE Michigan. While I have this post open, I may as well ask, anyone else from my area or Michigan in general? I’m always in need of good recommendations for shops who do solid work like suspensions, off road work, and currently a possible cab chop.

    Thanks. I look forward to ending my days of lurking on this forum and being an actual member.

    Every ME-SO mod but Bro Pro tails and 3rd brake - SCS SR8's with 255/85R16 ST Maxx - Prinsu Rack with Cali raised 42" slim light bar - TRD Pro grill - SDHQ dual behind the grille light mount with 2x 32" light bars - Cali Raised low profile ditch mounts with Cali pods - BakFlip MX4 Tonneau - WARN Semi-Hidden winch mount bumper - Bilstein 5100's all around with OME 887's - Anytime front/rear camera - Matte black EGR in-channel window visors - Matte Black Nox-Lux Overlay/Tailgate inserts - Interior Blackout kit (incl. black Highlander door handles and Sienna mirror control knob)/Blue door sill/glove box inserts Still wanting: Pelfreybilt or Mobtown Off-Road rear bumper
    Well, I can't recommend any places to do work as I'm in Canada but right across the river from Port Huron. I've done everything to my '17 TRDOR myself though, from wiring all my lights, front/rear camera, installing my Prinsu, swapping our factory suspension with OME 887 coils and Bilstein 5100's with Headstrong AAL, front Warn bumper, and soon to get rear bumper, and almost EVERY ME-SO mod!

    Since you say you're in SE Michigan, I'd bet you're pretty damn close to me so I'd be more than happy to give you a hand. Just send me a message on here anytime! :cheers:

    Hi. Im from Macomb MI. I have some of the same questions you have. I haven't been able to find many people who are really knowledgeable about this off road stuff, most places only do spacer level kits. The mechanic at Leslie Tire in Mt. Clemens did a Fox coilover kit on my dad's f150. He did a good job and seemed to care about his work. His alignment after the lift was perfect. I plan to go to him when I get my stuff next summer. I don't think he can do stuff that's really customized though.
