    For $100 they are cutting and bending the stock pipe and then welding it back in. Perfectly acceptable solution. If you want new pipe made it will cost you a bit more.

    Well that’s the issue is that they say the stock pipe is stainless and the can’t bend stainless. The $100 is for a new section of aluminized pipe welded in.

    That doesn’t sound right, but I’m a 2nd gen so not terribly smart on specifics. Regardless you should be fine with aluminized pipe, they probably wouldn’t slap something under there that wouldn’t last, especially an older respected shop.

    For sure. It sounds like the newer piece of aluminized pipe is what most 2nd and 3rd gen guys do for the reroute. I guess bending stainless requires special machinery and is uncommon. I only worry since aluminized pipe is only supposed to last 5-8 years.

    Any shops anyone else can recommend down my way?

    My folks are getting rid of a ton of firewood, been stacked & aging in their back yard for a few years. All tree stumps/branches so no glue, paint or nails. First come first served, free. Located in Cerritos by the Auto Square (Google it if you need help). Send me a private message for the exact address.

    Thoughts on these: https://orangecounty.craigslist.org/pts/d/buena-park-toyota-tacoma-front-upper/7183126908.html


    Also, I'm looking for a good suspension guy/ mechanic to look over my truck. I am about to hit 225k and know I have some work I need to do.

    New shocks, new belts, brakes, maybe tie rods.

    But I want someone who knows tacomas to tell me what's needed or not. My general mechanic is awesome but he usually just says "looking good" when it comes to suspension stuff until its totally thrashed. Haha.

    Not familiar with the arms.
    Don't go to 4 wheel parts. People have had bad experiences there.
    Sorry I can't help more.

    Things that I can't do I've had them do.
    I've never had any issues, good cash prices and my friends have not said anything bad either.

    He has been busy so call them or better go over and see them and see whats up.

    I personally have enjoyed my experience the last couple years at the Firestone in Downey at Stonewood Mall. They have 2 techs there that really know their stuff & are themselves wheelers.

    I use Vodies Alignment in Garden Grove, been going there for 32 years with no issues. They mainly do alignments and brakes but will repair any suspension component front or rear and install lift kits as well.
