Looking for a shop to install Icon lift in SD/OC

[sdhobbs]

Looking for recommendations on a shop to install an Icon stage 2 kit on my 2012 TE. I'm in north San Diego but would be willing to travel for a good shop. The only shop around here is ORW but they have a terrible reputation on Yelp.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I know a shop in Vista called A+ automotive that can install it, they installed my lift. You can give them a call.

You could do it! It's not hard! I just installed my Icon lift in my parents' driveway in Carlsbad two weekends ago... It was pretty much just unbolting everything and then bolting it back up...

Demello is in riverside he knows 4r. He had a built fj and now has a built 4th gen.

There are enough of us around the area that if you possibly got beer and pizza or something you might have a lift put in over an afternoon. It is not that hard. The hardest part is the left rear. Major PITA! Also helps if your truck has a body lift but if not no big deal.

I had some work done at SD Truck Shop and they were reasonable; I'd use them again.

Check out Outlaw Offroad in Santa Ana. Pricey but does a good job.

AOE4x4 - They are very good. A bit pricey, but you wont be sorry. Workmanship is one of the best I've seen.

If you don't find a free option to install them I would suggest where I normally go.

It's called the The Truck Shop and its located on Miramar Blvd.

They are not perfect but they have damn good Google and Yelp reviews. I have been going there for years now. It's privately owned so if you have any "issues / complaints" (I normally don't) you can just talk to the owner directly since he's there everyday.

Call the for a quote. It think you will find they have one of the better prices.

Took your advice Pimpsta. Everything came out great! They installed wheels,tires, lift, trimmed front fenders, body mount mod. It looks and rides awesome! Highly recommend this shop. Prices were the lowest, they even priced matched tires. No rubbing and alignment is spot on. Connor who I later found out is the owner was great, helpful and knowledgeable.

Thanks Paul! Almost ready, need sliders.
Rims and tires (265/70/17 BFG AT) will be going up on Craigslist.

It looks great. Now you are ready to come out and play with the local guys in your area! There are a few of us that run almost every weekend some place. It would be cool to have a 5th gen in the mix!

Look forward to it Blue! Although truck is still pretty new, I'd like to stick to trails that don't involve giant boulders or heavy brush, let me know when you guys head out.

We do trails that are chill and just a trail drive also. Something for everyone.

Hey Javier,
I'm north county SD also. Would love to get into those BFG's but don't need the rims. If you have someone hot for just the rims keep me in mind.

Thanks!

Check out the for sale thread in the 5th gen forum, you will get even more exposure.

Very clean looking truck btw, good job
