New Mexico Owners BS Thread

Do any of you guys here in the ABQ know of a good exhaust shop? I need to reroute my exhaust to fit a new t-case skid.

 

thats whats i was gonna said sandia muffler but i think they are called route 66 muffler shop now? its just east of washington / central right?

 

Thanks guys I'll check it out.

 

What is the best shop to get 4wd suspension stuff done? I go to toyauto man in SF but he is not down with stock suspesion work... I would like a good shop to install my 5100s,(need the springs compressed) UCAs, front diff. drop, and AAL (dont have the AAL yet)
I would definitely prefer a shop in SF, But I was recommended accessories unlimited, and Desert rat as two places in ABQ...
who's the bomb and who should I avoid?
....thanks

 

I've heard good things about Desert Rat. If I were you and if you've got the time do it your self and save several hundred dollars. I did my front coilovers myself there are some really good write ups on how to do it.

 

nice. i'd like to do it all.... definitely want to learn, but I was under the impression that compressing the coils isn't an easy thing to do. Maybe I will pay for just the coils to be done. then the Billies at least wont be too hard to install. thanks!

 

i think your thinking of jims 66, but they are awesome

but not sure if its too late but id go to jims 66 where southern x said they are awesome talk to tony he is a really awsome guy he knows his stuff pretty damn well. he did my dule exhaust and my buddies sanoma and ranger haha. if you go there tell him that alex in the red single cab taco sent you hell know who i am

 

ya thats the place! i was thinking about going there and getting a similar setup to yours sounds sweet on the 4cy can only imagine how it would be on the 6cy.

 

try out trucks unique, there some good guys as well talk to chris, i got my revtek kit there as well as wheels/tires

 

I would reccomend desert rat.

 

nice. thanks guys. Its gonna be at least jan. before I can divert any $$ but i will check em out if I cant find something in SF.
happy holidays y'all !

 

It's not too late. I won't be able to go until after Christmas.
Taco505 what did you do to your exhaust to make it sound so sweet?

 

I had all my stuff installed at 4wheelparts on Menaul. I had checked here to see what I should expect to pay and they were the only ones even close. In fact, they were right on the money. Desert Rat was outrageous! Could still be a good shop, but they were way off the mark cost-wise. I'm really happy with the install and service I got. Thought I'd even get shit for taking a "tiny" taco in with all the big dog rigs they have out front, but they were real cool. They weren't familiar with Toytec, but have done quite a few of OME installs. Should have no trouble with what you're wanting done.

 

ya taco505 share the goodness

 

Hey fellas u guys know any shops that are good at tinting windows and there prices are legit? I wanna tint the 2 front ones but dont exactly know which shop too pick.

there is a shop on candelaria and carlisle thats were i got mine done it was pretty cheap and fast and lifet time warenty

 

well lets see i have DT headers the shorties dont make the long for the 4 banger made it quite a bit deeper. knn intake added a little to the sound not to much. and last but not least the magnaflow muffler with a duel outlet i forget what size i have and i believe i have 2.5 tubing with the duel tips out the back

well thats pretty much it and well its a taco what else can i say

 

man i guess im on a roll with my relpys haha

but hell ya the guys at 4wheelparts are awesome and i know what you mean about showin up in a taco just imagin how i feel in the little 2wd single cab! i thought that they would just laugh at me but thye have helped me out countless times.
