    Hey guys I’m PCSing (military) to West Point in December of this year. Are there any shops near there that have a good reputation? I’m going to do a cross country trip from Cali to NY and picking up mods along the way. But I wanted to see if there was a shop that I could finish out some modifications once we arrive in NY.

    Super excited to live in NY again. It’s such a beautiful area with rich history. Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated!

    Good morning. I don't know anyone immediately nearby (Highland/Fort Montgomery, etc.) but about 35~40 min east of there is an excellent mechanic who I have used for over ten years. He used to me a Toyota mechanic and really knows his stuff. Pm me for info. Thank you for your service and good luck and stay safe on your trip. I have a son active duty - with a Tacoma as well! Once you are here, hit me upon if i can be of any help with anything.

    If you don't mind stopping in NJ I highly recommend this place
    https://liquidironindustries.com/

    Then you can make the final ~2 hr trip with all the mods on the truck

    I don’t mind NJ, now once I’m back in NY I’m sure I’ll re-acquire my hatred for NJ lol. I lived in LI back from 02-03 and hated coming through NJ on my trip from Ohio.

    We use water maps. They're the best kind.

    sure! I’ve been in that area back in 2014, but I’m looking for anything that will help me get off-road.
