Why f#@k with it ... Safeway and get it done on your driveway. I recently had to replace my windshield on my beater and they were comparable to mom and pop stores where I had to bring my car to them. I paid the same amount for having Safeway do it; in front of my house.

Hey all, figured I’d tip my head in the ring....
I’m Nick McCarthy.
I’m a welder/fabricator/machinist/mechanic/car builder. I have about 20+ years experience. I’ve been a Toyota enthusiast for about 15 years. I Help operate a custom fabrication shop in Riverside,CA Called PSM performance. We are a family owned and operated small business since 2004.
I also do off-road fab work, sheet metal work, roll cages, racing and off-road rear ends. Exhuast, headers, and turbo manifolds.
For any work inquiry please contact nick at: 951-252–7702
Here’s a peak at my latest mod for my 3rd gen 4Runner. I have a 3” lift installed and noticed that the sway bar end links were now way too short so I’ve machined my own end links and utilized the threaded shaft of the old end links and will tig weld them in place to mate back to the stock sway bar. I’ve also fabricated my own pan-hard bar drop bracket. I’ve also attached pics of a tundra tube bumper I did recently as well as the custom extended grill and custom front bumper for my 3rd gen 4Runner. They are still in the build/ mock-up phase.

Riverside Pro Alignment
(951) 324 - 1930
5510 Van Buren Boulevard Unit D,
Riverside, CA 92503, |
This place is awesome! I got my alignment done here as soon as I got my lift a year and a half ago with no issues. The alignment has been straight on since then.
I just installed a new front bumper so I got new springs for my Fox 2.0 coilovers. They changed out my springs and did another alignment. Even though it didnt feel like I needed it, I went ahead and got another alignment. I couldnt be more satisfied. I have 33's and have no rubbing at all.
This shop is a family owned place that is ran by a father and son. They do alignments the old school way. They actually care about customer satisfaction and put quality in the work that they do.
I would definitely recommend this shop to anyone for any alignment or suspension work.

RPM Garage in Monrovia has a pretty good reputation.

Not the cheapest but good honest, solid service. Family owned and you'll walk away knowing they did 100% job

What do you typically charge for a body mount chop on a 5th gen?

Anyone got recommendations for a shop for an inspection/anyone wanna earn a couple cases of beer or a scotch? I'm talking with a guy about a 4runner near Santa Monica but live in Colorado. Trying to get some eyes on it before I commit to either fly/drive or shipping. Pretty 1st gen 22re sr5 5spd that has light mods.
Thanks in advance!
Alex
