    Ya a locker is definitely a game changer despite the guys who claim they don't need one. I mean yes you don't need one depending on the type of driving you do obviously but here's a perfect example

    If you ever done big bear to pioneertown there's a few hills at the bottom, my buddy in a stock tacoma with stock wheels (trd off road so lockers) was able to make it up. Back when I had my 1st gen and I first bought it, it came with shitty hankook street tires and I made that same hill with lockers, I couldn't make it with my open diff taco (lifted with bilsteins and Falken at3w) I mean maybe I could have if I did a gun and run but I didn't want to break shit

    Got my rig back! Super stoked with how the install turned out, I highly recommend these guys, they're super knowledgeable and know what they're doing and the prices were on point. Really friendly as well, they stayed a little bit after hours to wait for me since I was running late from work. Thanks again for the great work guys can't wait to try it!

    My switches were from ch4x4 and the mounting bracket is from wheelers off road/all pro, i got the extended arb wiring harness but the guys had to do some work on it as well. Altogether with everything I think I paid around 4k which I know is steep but I wanted it to look clean/oem as possible and these guys nailed it

    Dropped my truck off this morning at 845a and was out by 1130am. They have a few guys working on your rig to get you out quick... Thanks again Miguel and Carlos! I Should have regeared sooner, truck runs amazing on the 4.56's. Good work, clean shop, friendly staff, reasonable prices. I highly recommend this shop.

    So after they installed my locker, a few days later I discovered they broke the clips on my fender when removing it. While I'm sure it was an honest mistake, I feel a little disappointed not only they broke my fender clips (I had to buy an entire new fender for $400 plus weatherproof molding for a total of $450) they failed to mention it hoping I wouldn't notice.

    To their credit I'm willing to give the owners the benefit of the doubt as they told me they had a third party guy do the wiring part and maybe he was the one who did it. So if you guys take your rig here make sure you fully inspect it when you get it back

    Why would anyone pull those off to do a locker? Also, they do break VERY easily.
