NC Taco.

Finally got a Tacoma. Looking to re-gear it before I start adding all the weight of an overland build. Looking for a good and competent shop that can do the re-gearing properly. I’m stationed at Ft.Bragg. Any suggestions? Thank you all!

 

That's a good looking truck!

 

Welcome, unfortunately you may have to stray away from the area. There isn't much around us here at Bragg that I would personally have a good amount of faith in. I have not done any re-gearing on my truck so I don't have any personal experience. I have encountered a couple people that have gone to Performance Off-road near Riley and Morganton that have had good results. I have had a lot of good general mechanic experience with Tucker's Auto Repair in Spring Lake though I am not sure if they will do re-gearing. I would suggest giving them a call. Tucker's has always giving me fair pricing and I have never been ripped off there. Of course there is always 4 Wheel parts in Raleigh. CDT Performance looks decent from what I can tell but again no personal experience.

I generally try to do the work myself so I don't go to shops to often unless the job is beyond my capability, which re-gearing would be lol.

 

I would contact these shops in this order:

Asheville vehicle outfitters
Apex overland
Down east off-road

 

East Coast Gear Supply (ECGS) in the RDU area is the go-to for all things axle/diff/gears.

 

I would honestly avoid any off road shops in Fayetteville, its a shame they don't have a decent one around because they could make a killing doing off road work for jeeps and trucks. I've reached out to CDT recently to see if they could do a cab mount relocation, seems like a good reputable shop. I've also heard 4WP in Raleigh is also good.

 

Welcome to TW! I'm also from North Carolina
