    That’s my buddy Branden and yes you did see it at the expo parking lot probably parked next to a access cab sas. He’s built a few of these so far, this one was just built at the beginning of summer.

    Your correct he is running 40’s he’s running the pro comp extreme mt 2’s. He has a shop out in Arcadia so you’ll probably see the truck quite a bit.

    Even if he did use fencing materials, that rack isn't to bad of a design. Looks a lot less "pedestrian" than the generic contractor racks. Throw some lights on that sumbitch and you're ready for baja1k.

    His shop is on Duarte Rd. in between Santa Anita and 1st. Brandon and his dad both run the shop together and are Toyota Enthusiasts and experts, so if you need work done that you can't do yourself they would be the local place to go to..

    Yes he’s one of them, you’ll also see a silver 1st gen access cab around Covina/Glendora area.

    It’s called Arcadia off-road, it’s a one stop shop. Anything from oil changes, motor repairs, regears to SAS.

    Ah, so that's where I've seen that truck. I pass by the shop often to pick up my kid who recently started preK in Arcadia.
    That truck is good signage for the shop. Seeing it and some other rigs let me know that they work on off road stuff.

    Damn thats good to know...I've been living here for over a year now and had no idea. I know of RPM Garage in Monrovia, they're Yota enthusiasts too and always have a bunch of Landcruisers and T4Rs outside the shop. I hadn't heard of Arcadia Offroad...I'll definitely check them out
