Check out first post.... Great shop, very dedicated and experienced shop owner, in Toyotas. Honest but expensive. Dealer type pricing but you get a detailed and well done job the fist time. Give them a call for a quote

The owner of this shop, John, is a Toyota guru with 30 years experience. 4Runners are a daily presence at this shop, plus he owns/has owned several. John is a master of the art, an honest mechanic who explains his work in great detail and solely uses only OEM or better quality parts. In addition, he makes sure every nut, bolt, and clip is removed and reinstalled carefully. The prices are fair and the parts he uses are top notch. Rest assured, if John performs a job, he does it right.
His shop contains a vast variety of 4Runner parts and custom tools specifically tailored to Toyota trucks and 4Runners. I wouldn't doubt that he could build a 22RE or 5VZ with his eyes closed.
He can diagnose and repair mechanical and electrical issues, perform clutch jobs, engine work of any kind, manual transmission rebuilds, transfer cases, suspension, lockers and gears for your diffs, axle seals, air conditioning, interior, you name it.
His wife, Wendy, sets the appointments, so be sure to tell her that James from the 4Runner forum told you to call. They'll treat you right.

I know most of you have 5th gens but would anyone know of a shop that can tune a SC'd 3rd gen with a 7th injector kit?

I don't know of anyone but was looking into Magnuson. They have a dealer locator on the website. I bet that is a good place to start.
MAGNUSONPRODUCTS.COM
BTW how many miles on your rig when you installed the SC. I'm looking into doing it.

Can anyone recommend a muffler shop in or around the south bay (torrance/gardena) will venture out if needed.
I installed the Borla S Type but I think I need a resonator welded on.

Is it that loud? Thought the S was suppose to be the quieter one of the Borla's.

it's not that loud like a flowmaster. But I can hear it in the rear cargo. I want to try to tone that down.
also its paired up with the URD y-pipe so maybe thats why it might be a bit louder?

4WD transfer actuator case
New to the forum. I have an '09 4R, and it appears the transfer actuator to shift into 4WD is bad. I used to be able to just be able to tap on the case to get it to go into 4WD, but that no longer works.
I am located in San Diego (central San Diego). Anyone have suggestions on a shop to repair/replace the transfer actuator at a reasonable cost?
