Anyone know of reputible and knowledgable 4X4/Off-Road shops in S.E. Florida?

I have recently bought a 2013 TE and I have a few things I'd like to mod. I don't have the knowledge nor the tools for this level of install, and I'm hoping to get some recommendations from some of you in my area.

Thanks in advance, much appreciated! :yo:

Where in Florida are you? If you want, I'd check out the Florida section (mostly the fl bs thread) over on Tacoma world. We're all pretty tight and and get together regularly. One of our members is a master tech for toyota here in orlando.
 
Mgrande, thanks for the suggestion, makes sense.

I'm in Palm Beach County, so not real close to Orlando. I'm sure there have to be reputable 4X4 shops down here, just looking for a referral from people who know a lot more about this stuff than I do.
 
I had the guys at 4WheelParts in West Palm install my 5100s and do an alignment.

Was very satisfied with the install and how quickly and effortlessly they did it.

I'm in Boca btw.

That's very helpful, I'm in Boynton Beach, so these guys are pretty close, thank you!

What did you get your 5100's set at for lift? Any chance you have a photo? That's one of the items I need done too, I'd be interested in hearing your take on the before and after improvements in ride and appearance.
 
I went with the .85 setting. I tend to load the trunk up often enough that I didn't want to possibly have a reverse rake.

I don't have any photos, most ppl don't notice the difference, but I did. I have KDSS so the difference may not have been as noticeable as if you didn't. But the overall ride quality is much improved, it's a little firmer ride, which I like.

What were the rear 5100's set it?

So you essentially got the 4R slightly raised and 100% leveled? Sounds exactly like what I'm looking for.

Only the fronts are adjustable.

This topic was discussed extensively recently, with pics, as it has before.

Thanks philsey...I'm well aware of that search method, have used in many times....subscribed to many threads, have folders of thread subscriptions on all things from lifts, wheels, audio....you name it. I've searched & read extensively.

My question was directed an the person I quoted, who seems perfectly fine with answering, quick simple questions....particularly since he uses a shop local to me, has had mods done identical to what I'm going to do, and again, seems happy to answer a few quick, straight forward questions. In everything I've read, it's never been discussed as far as I've seem about adjusting, not being able to adjust, not needed to adjust 5100 rears.....thus my question.

It has been discussed a million times and if you read Bilsteins description it tells you as well.... BUT Philsey TOLD you as well in his reply

THE REAR 5100s ARE NOT ADJUSTABLE THEY ONLY ACCOMMODATE LIFT

Settle down Sally, try to get a little less butthurt over minor events online.

Everything's going to be ok...really. :der:
 
Stifler & Philsy, here's a thought that can also be applied through the rest of your lives.

Don't like a subject? Not happy with a question? Easily upset over certain minor dialog on an internet forum? Sound familiar? Of course it does.

Here's the sorcery you can apply to remedy ALL of that. It's like magic.

Move on.

Click a different thread.

Bow out of the discussion.

Requires FAR less effort than being TOTAL doosh, though probably not nearly as much fun for your personality types. :hatsoff:

Yeah, that sounds just lovely.

Though I did search, and guess what? Just because someone searches, doesn't mean that the piece of information they're looking for was found....or understood completely if in fact it was found. I fall in to the later category....but I get it, understanding these destinctions, or just being generally a pleasant person just isn't how some guys roll. And its far more fun wasting time berating someone than just moving the f%#ck on.

I'll keep sharpening my pencil over here and see if I can nail every search without ever needing to actually <gasp!> post a question, and you can get busy moving on from posts and threads that make you feel all icky.
