Suspension install in Jax

Thinking of upgrading my '16 OR suspension. Nothing crazy, 5100s, OME springs and AAL. Looking for a good shop in the Jax area to do the install as when I moved down here 3 years ago I sold a lot of tools and stands. Anyone have a place that they really like? I would hate to go to the dealer.

 

Just have a mod day at another member's house, feed them pizza and beer and you're good to go

 

Not in Jax (Orlando) but if you ever head this way happy to help and provide tools etc.

 

Thanks Key-Rei appreciate the offer. I might just take you up on it. Will supply beer and pizza too

 

When I upgraded my suspension, I bought the parts at 4Wheel Parts. Due to a lack of time and proper tools, I also had them install it. That was a few years ago.

When I need to replace the suspension again, I will be doing it myself.

 

Did they do a good job? Was worried about using them.

 

4 Wheel Parts? Yeah. It's been a few years now, and I haven't had any problems. I cannot remember how much they charged for labor.

The one I went to was the one on the Northside. The Atlantic Blvd. was not open yet.

 

Alot of the people came from the northside and went to Atlantic blvd.

 

Sorry to hijack the thread but I’m looking for place that can do a really good re gear on my 2015 OR auto v6. I’ve got a decent shop with a lift here at my house near Live Oak but no time ...or experience with Tacoma driveline/gears.

 

I've been to American bedliner and Dixie off road. they are good and reasonable.

 

I don’t mean to resurrect an ancient thread, but this topic fits my question as well…

OP - who did you end up going to?

I live in Saint Augustine and was wondering if any Florida TW memebers might know of any people or places within 2 hours or so that they would recommend to help me install my new Old Man Emu full suspension kit that I just received from @HeadStrong Off-Road.

Thanks all!

 

I think I'm right at the edge of 2hrs.

 

What’s up Key!

I actually thought about checking with you after I saw your previous post and I remember you telling me that you’re often up to helping out fellow TW’ers with mods and stuff, but I wasn’t sure what your availability was like these days.

How have things been going?

 

It's going alright, definitely got weird availability right now, closing on a house and will be moving soon but could probably sneak you in somewhere this month or I should be basically free in March.

Current off days kinda suck though, Tues Wed Thurs but that can/may change.

 

Alright cool. I’ll PM you and let you know what my off days are for February and March and we can see what happens.

 

Sounds like Key Rei has you covered. I want to share some info on Jax aftermarket installation providers based on personal experience. I’ve been very happy with 4-Wheel parts off Atlantic. Great service after the sale and no problems with the shop. I use a guy who was with Toyota and is a Toyota Master mechanic, certified, etc. for anything complicated or very technical. He now works at Walt’s Live Oak Ford in Live Oak, FL. Andy Gonzalez. I had a Regear done in Jacksonville on the west side at Driveline Services, twice, after the ring failed once. They didn’t do a great job and they fried my brakes on my 2015 TRD or by jumping it incorrectly. It has a dual battery system and could jump itself if they would have called me! cost me over 3K to get it fixed. I think they specialize in larger vehicles and older cars….not Toyotas.
