    Long Island guys, specifically western Suffolk what’s you go to shop? I don’t have a lift, or access to one so during the winter months and just when I need a quick fix I’m interested in trusted shops that know these trucks and are honest. I use Deans Machine Auto repair in deer park and Dean is great, honest, fair prices, but I’m interested to know if there are shops on the island that specialize in Toyota trucks.
    TIA

    I've read on other blogs that they don't really want to work on our rigs, just bigger stuff with more after market bolt on crap, again so I've read.

    No, keeping it stock, at least for now, had a '79 pick up (hilux) all tricked out for 20 years, set up for the beach, great times, also great for upstate trails, but for now I'm keeping it stock how about you.

    Eastern Suffolk I’ve heard I think it’s black rock off road? I’m not sure if they’re just doing lifted/custom suspension stuff. Again my guy Dean, I trust him, I had him inspect my truck before I bought it and he gave me the all clear, but I was hoping to find a shop that’s specializing in just Toyota without the hassle of dealers, similar to The Honda Man, he was a Honda tech for years that went on his own. My in laws used only him for their pilot pretty much exclusively.

    Mauricio and his partner are both Toyota techs that started their own shop. Knowledgable, respectful, fair fees.
    Everyone at my office now uses them.

    A bunch..and no build thread!
    All these Long Island Taco's!

    RMS was basically all big lift stuff, though they did quote me to lift my truck when I was looking and seemed like nice people.
