I’m new to modding and Dave is a great dude, very knowledgeable and explains everything he’s doing and why. Highly recommend.

    Just posting here to give dave another 5-star review. He helped me out with my shocks replacing the studs with the correct length ones. He also found out that I had a coolant leak and needed my radiator to be replaced right as I pulled up. Must have happened super recently. He went the extra mile to top my coolant off, torque the rest of my suspension, and help me with a few random things. All in all, dave rules and I'll be back to do some more work with him!

    Installed some Bilstein 5100's today on a 2020 4runner. Nice having the wall mounted spring compressor!

    Haven't been over here in years. Dave has helped me with my original owner 2010 Tacoma TRD and a newer 21 4runner. Yesterday we he knocked out upper and lower control arms. I have brand new 2.5 Fox's coming to replace the worn out pro comps. Hopefully I'll see him next weekend and complete the front end. He did full 2.5 resi set up on the 4runner. Can certainly vouch for his work.

    Another Viper Cut performed. This one is less aggressive than usual.

    Hi Dave,

    My tacoma could probably help you buy another corvette.
    It's like an energizer bunny of repairs.

    It doesn't have anything major but currently at the top of my list are two things:

    Looks like I might have a slow rear main leak (yay!) and my core support is pretty trashed.
    Can you do the repair for the leak and would you be interested in talking about options for the CS?
    Not sure if you'd be open to welding some tubes in place, gussets, or what.. but im looking around for options on how to get this into better shape.
    I'm getting ready to paint this truck but the lights and grille dont match up to the bolt holes very well, and all the lines are just a little rough in general.
    Looking to see if someone can help me with a lot of these little details that require some patience, elbow grease, and probably a little fab work.

    Thank you

    Appreciate you reaching out. I don't weld (anymore) so I wouldn't be able to help in that area. I used to do auto body work though, so I could help you with some of your needs.

    As far as the rear main seal are you 100% sure that is your leak? Could be back of the valve cover. I'll send you a PM.

    Thank you again for everything Dave. I’ll definitely be back for all my future installs that I can’t tackle myself.

    My second time going to Dave for help. First time around he installed my lift kit, UCAs, and add a leafs for a good price and provided top notch service. That’s why I came back a second time for him to do my viper cut, which came out perfect! I’m definitely recommending Dave to my friends and anyone I come across that needs help with their rig. Appreciate everything man, thanks again. :bananadance:
