SoCal 4Runner Shop Thread

Can anyone recommend a good car audio shop in the Long Beach area?

Looking add a subwoofer, amp, and possibly the Focal plug-n-play setup. I have had bad experiences with car audio shops in the past, so any referrals would be great.

I have dealt with the owner of PCH Custom Audio and thats a nice store/backend setup. I dealt with him for other business matters but it doesnt appear to be run by a janky owner or anything.

Thanks, I will look them up. I'm just trying to stay away from big box/chains. They seem to have intro level people working in those types of places. I want someone with clean experienced work. I've heard horror stories of people having amps installed poorly and ended up frying their electrical + voiding factory warranty. That's what I am trying to avoid.

Thanks again, and other suggestions are welcome!

Aloha

Get a new cv axle to put on, then buy a new set of boots then you have an extra axle, just in case. They are the same for left and right.

Buy a marine upper and lower boots. They last a whole lot longer, especially with lifted rigs. Saved me costly repairs. They are not expensive either.

Long Travel C.V. Boot Kit | All-Pro Off Road
Try this...these are the exact ones I bought and they lasted over a year. Sorry they are Marina grade rubber with marine grade clamps. But they are Long travel CV boots.

gotcha. thanks for the clarification!

i need to replace my inner passenger CV boot. i am good with hand tools and taking things apart & putting them back together, is this something that is fairly straightforward with the right tools? or should i have a shop do it?

Looking to buy rock sliders and front bumper. Do any local shops carry them in stock? Or is it cheaper to order online and pay the 300 dollar shipping fee.

(Preferably Proline front bumper)

If anyone has bumpers/sliders for sale let me know.

I was looking at the ICON stage I or stage II lift kits too. Any input? Suggestions for a good Lift kit?

I got the Fox 2.5 with DSC adjusters and SPC UCAs. Really like the setup and nice to be able to adjust dampening with the twist of a dial.

Do you know how much they charge? To install an icon stage 1 on a 2016 4Runner no kdss

It depends on what is involved. I don't know what goes into installing icons. I installed 5100s on all 4 corners with a daystar spacers which is considered to be a little on the easier side. With alignment it cost me around $400. If you do to to JBM ask for Paul, he is really upfront and helpful.
 
The Pelfreybilt bumper and sliders look good. Leaning toward those. One question about the suspension though. Anyone with a limited 4runner that did a lift but actually miss their XREAS?

XREAS has to be removed for most lifts right?

If i don't lift the 4runner, i can still replace my 20s with 265 70 r 17 right?
