    Who do y'all like for mechanics around here? EVB (Extreme Vehicle Builders) in Danbury have good reviews but I know some people who work or go there and they, at least used to be, mostly coal rollers. Their site shows a lot about overlanding now though.

    Anyone else know good mechanics? I'll also need an alignment after my lift in the coming week or two

    I have the Firestone lifetime alignment... but then again I don't really have a "lift" per se. I just have the PRO suspension instead of the Sport suspension.

    Interesting, thanks! The one in Danbury pissed me off when I brought my Miata to them, and gave them my autocross alignment specs (Along with a dozen donuts) and got back a poor attempt at stock alignment. The one in Brookfield has done well though I believe...

    I won't be doing anything crazy, about 2.5" in the front and 2" in the rear, but I know that's getting close to maxing out my UCAs so I figured an off road shop would probably handle it better

    I go to the one in Brookfield, since it's super close to my house. No complaints so far from my part.

    Sweet, I'll be there tomorrow getting rid of some All Seasons and getting my 26/75 16 Wildpeaks on! Any idea if someone around here will buy used tires? Only a few thousand miles on them

    There's a "chain" called Plan B Tires. Not sure if they buy though. Might be worth looking into.
