    Hey guys,

    New Tacoma owner, I bought a ‘12 with 35-10.50’s and no gear. I am looking for a shop in Houston that is trustworthy, and hopefully experienced with Tacomas. Any recommendations?

    *I’m leaning towards 4.88s after a few threads on here, but I could be convinced to go 5.29. 4.0, auto, mostly city, but occasionally tow small RV. Camping & fishing trips are 2+ hours away, so towabilty is important, but not at 5k rpm.

    tia,
    Brandon

    Best price (and good quality) from my research is swap in assembled units and return cores @ ECGS

    Thanks guys, I’ll look into each of your suggestions.

    Texoma, thanks for the Houston option, Lago Vista is a bit far for me.
