    Its getting bad, Im almost broke.
    so I invested some big bucks in my 2016 TRDOR with all the proper bells and whistles. I think I'm up to $10k+ In accessories now. But with this engine / trans combo it desperately needs a gear swap to 488's. Ive only been able to reach a couple places and they want nothing to do with it, as if its voodoo to touch a toyota and nitro gears. I would love some suggestions anywhere from Salt Lake City or North. It needs to be someone who installs gears regualarly and knows them well. Thanks for the suggestions. Ill post my build soon.

    I did a re-gear on my 86 4Runner several years ago and Kevin at Six States in Orem came VERY highly recommended.
    I know that's a long way for you, but I would give him a call to discuss. If nothing else, he might be able to recommend someone closer to you.

    Give the guy's at low range offroad a call. I'm sure they could recommend a reputable shop close to you.

    ^ That. Avoid Ultimate 4X4 at all costs. I've had buddies that have gone there and they've ALL regretted it. You may want to post in the Utah specific thread and see if anyone has advice. I'd have NO interest in doing that myself, that's for sure.
