    Not a differential shop, but a Toyota (land cruiser) shop. Give them a call to see if they could do your differential, or they can recommend someone who can.

    Check these guys out too. I've only heard good things from them(mainly from mustang guys), but their work is suppose to be great with reasonable pricing.

    We have a good one here in the Sacramento area:
    River City Differentials in Gold River.
    Small one-man shop, and really good with all truck differentials.
    He's a wheeler (member of 'Pirates'), and has been doing
    nothing but diffs for at least 25 years.

    Good info! What would you fellas recommend for a shop to do gears in nor cal? I'm probably looking to regear to 4.56 soon. Was gonna call ECGS and then get a shop to do the labor.
