    Compiling a list....
    I recently lifted my Tacoma and I am having the standard issues that come along w lifting a Toyota. I've dropped the transfer case, lowered the carrier bearing and now I am attempting to replace the needle bearing w a bushing. That's where I've come into some trouble, finding someone to do that project. I live in the Charlotte area and have had two different off road shops decline to change it out for me. (I do appreciate their honesty though) but that still doesn't help me....so does anyone out there know of a shop that could handle this project in the Charlotte area?

    I believe ECGS themselves may install the bushing for you if you drive up to Raleigh for a few hours. Give them a call!

    Edit: Confirmed. Takes about 90-120 minutes and they charge $160-$180 for the install, which includes parts+labor. ($180 only if they nick the axle seal when removing the factory part, otherwise just $160).

    I'm most definitely late to the party, but Check out Primal 4X4 on South BLVD in Charlotte, Blake Hodge should be able to handle something like that for you in the future
