    Have new tires. New wheels with bead locks. Need a good place that will mount, balance and put onto the truck. Any recommendations?

    Thanks!

    The Truck Shop in Miramar is always a solid place to go.

    I third that as well. They did my lift and had general upkeep done there for my 2nd gen. Reasonable prices for the work they do.

    Yup. James is a good guy too, they've done everything from recovering my truck back to great condition after destroying it in the desert, cab chop, electrical installs, headunit repair, lower bedlining of the door, alignments, installing suspension components, armor, bumpers, winch, etc.

    I don't think I've brought them any project they couldn't do yet, except frame straightening which they had to outsource.

    My friend needs to replace some O2 sensors on his 5 series BMW, does anyone have a lift or a flat floor jack for a street car? It’s around a hour job and we got the rest of the tools :bowdown:

    I did a bunch of CMCs over the past 2 weeks as well as 3 lifts, some ECGS diff swaps, welded up some Spindle gussets and a bunch of that stuff like 3 timing belt kits all on 4.7 engines, it’s weird how things come in multiples..
    And got more done on my own truck so it’s really close now.

    Anybody know where I can go for junk yards in the San Diego area? I used to go to Ecology back in the day where you brought your own tools, find what you need, take apart, pay at the gate.

    Nowadays, I have no clue what it is like now? Are there still places like that that I can go to do that or ???

    Finally, junk yard places that would have Tacoma's would be very nice to be able to go to as well.

    Cardinal Auto wrecking is still in Escondido, on Rock Springs, south of Mission. On google maps, I still see a bunch of yards on Energy Way where Ecology had several yards, looks like they are now LGQ Pick a Part.
