[MENTION=128841]Spenny[/MENTION] I used Mike at Audiofonixx
Yelp https://www.yelp.com/biz/audiofonixx-irvine-2
Phone number (949) 297-4626
He is a very busy man and may require some getting a hold of them.
However, he is a very smart dude and can do magic on cars. I dont know about house stuff but I would imagine the same. He is also mobile, so you can call him and see what he says. Also mention me Danny (white 4runner)
Good luck!

Emailed on their site and even gave them a call last week. Not sure if they're out or simply busy. I'll let you know once I finally get in contact with them.

I just had mine rebuilt. Turnaround is 4 to 5 business days.

How many miles did you have on them before you rebuilt them? After the 4 day wait, will you do it yourself next time to speed up the process?

I bought them used with about 4K miles on them. I had about 12K on them when I noticed a small drip on the front passenger side shock. I heard that some Icons have bad seals, I guess I got one of them. I talked to the Tech at DC and he said depending on how much I wheeled, I should be able to get about 60K out of them on average. I don't think I will DIY it since I believe you still have to charge the system with Nitrogen gas and I don't have the tools to do it, plus it is somewhat dangerous I hear. I can live with a 4 business day turnaround. The place in TEmecula said it would be 3 weeks before they could even get to me, so I was very happy with DC's turnaround. Happy wheeling.

Dynamic Auto Service in Fountain Valley
If anyone needs a good mechanic, Sonny is your guy. He has a small shop. He used to be a master Toyota/Lexus Tech. He does all the work on my rig. Just let him know John with the Black 4Runner sent you. Really fair prices and honest guy.

They were great! Spoke to Kurt and he was able to knock it out right away. Didn't have time to remove, drop off, and reinstall so I just gave them the whole thing. Couldn't bring it in the morning but was able to leave it the afternoon before and pick it up the following day.

If you need a muffler or catalytic converter Rod's Muffler in San Juan Capistrano is the place to go. I had been dealing with a 420 cel code on my 2000 4Runner and the guy that woks on my NSX recommended Rod, saying he's a fair and honest guy. Instead of trying to sell me both cats as most place would try, he tested and said that just front cat was the problem. Since the cats are the originals I told him to do both so I wouldn't have to worry about the other going out in the future. He installed 2 Magnaflow "carb" cats for $400.00. He also told me that 15 year old Magnaflow muffler has a couple of leaks so I will be taking it there this Saturday to get that replaced.
Rod told me that half of his customers are 4Runner or Tacoma owners.:clap2:
Address: 32861 Camino Capistrano #3, San Juan Capistrano, CA 92675
Phone: (949) 661-3883

Same, im in palmdale but always in the valley.
I have a bad parasitic drain I cant track down. Worse case would be going to Japanese Car Specialties or YotaMasters since they know a good amount of these cars.
Any recommendations on suspension shops in the Westside/South Bay area of Los Angeles? Got my hands on that $500 TRD Pro suspension package and want to put it on my 2011 LE.
Did a quick Yelp search and "South Bay Truck & 4 Wheel Drive" popped up with 5-stars. Looks like a decent place, but always looking for more options.
