    I live in Seattle but work in Auburn. Anyone knows a place I can get the Nitro gears installed? I’m will to travel from north Seattle down to Portland for a good shop to get this done. Thanks to who ever can point me to the right direction.

    What hasn't been modified?
    Ecgs if your willing to do the swap yourself. They will pre build the diffs.

    But recommend a local installer first

    Randy’s Ring and Pinion in Lynnwood/Everett area, one of the best gearing shops around. I’ve had multiple trucks done there.

    Second vote for Mule Expeditions in Issaquah. They installed some stuff for me recently and did a great job. They're my shop for as long as I live around here.

    I would send my diffs to Ken Francisco aka Zuk (toyotagearinstalls) in AZ personally. Short of that, I'd drive to Valley Hybrids in Stockton CA and drop it off. Take a 2 day trip to SF and enjoy a 49ers game and some good food.

    I also recommend Mule in Issaquah. Sounds like you’ve got some good options. If you end up lookin for more ideas, the regional PNW section of this forum might have some additional recommendations. https://www.tacomaworld.com/forums/north-west.40/

    If you are looking for Nitro gears we (Mule) are dealers/installers and also Bull Built in Lake Bonney. Auburn Car does great work, but the sell Yukon.

    Unrelated but do you guys do alignments and dialing in correct camber with adjustable SCP UCAs? I'm not far from you in Bellevue.
