    I usually do all of my own work. But recently had a second baby and I just don't have the time, space, or energy to wrench right now.

    @Speed Freek is in Vista, he’s my Go-To Toyota guy for all mods. He has a full shop setup at his casa, full fabrication abilities too. Definitely the best guy in North county for Toyota stuff.

    Edit: They seem to all be offroaders, and they have an alignment rack.

    I'm glad I found @Speed Freek here. Excellent work and customer service at a fair price. He explained everything up front and sent me updates and pictures as he went. He's a busy guy but I'm glad I waited for him to be available. I'll be taking all my cars to him from now on. He went above and beyond what I expected. I can tell he knows everything Tacoma.
