Noob Looking for BEST off-road shop in So Cal

[Bonked]

Thanks for all the info already!

To L33T35T Tacoma:
I'd love to give Cleghorn Ridge a shot, but I coach baseball and have a tournament this weekend. Another time, and I'll be in for sure.

Seanz0rz:
sound advice, especially since Scuba sent me a link to pre-assembled, re-geared diffs at eastcoast. I can probably swap diffs but not install the gears myself. I don't want to do things twice, for sure.

Which takes me to Bob98SR5:
I've read some of your posts and will definitely check out the page you referenced. I'm in no hurry and do have a lot to learn.

Welcome! Nice 4Runner....the 5spd 4Runners seem hard to find.

There are lots of great socal members here! I've met some of them in person, and they're a cool bunch. Pismo Jamboree is later this fall, and it's an awesome event.

welcome.
and love the color. my 99 is the same color so check out my sig if you want to know what it looks like with mods.

i agree with the wheel what you got and learn as you upgrade. makes you a better driver IMHO.
if you cant build it or don't have time, i would go with budbuilt for armorwww.budbuilt.com
lots of people make good sliders. i am a www.stubbswelding.com fan.

theres all kinds of jeep clubs if you want a club. the FJ guys at www.socalfjcruiserforums.comdo alot of wheeling and get togethers up in your area.

once again welcome to the nut house nad hope you dont like your money. your rig will never be done.

Welcome. I like All-pro - good shop and good products. Stay away from 4WheelParts for labor, ok prices on parts, but their techs are braindead IMO. X2 on eastcoastgearsupply.com. I'm down to go wheelin with any of you guys since I'm local too (I'm in Arrowhead and my folks live in Riverside)..

Like most the other guys on here, I try to do most of my work myself. However, I have gone to Yotamasters over in Corona and they are awesome. Its a tiny shop but the guy's know yota's like no other.
