    Hello 4runner enthusiasts.

    I'm Dave. I do lift installs, mechanic work, lighting, body armor, just about anything. I don't weld, rebuild diffs or rebuild transmissions. I love working on Toyota trucks and have owned a bunch of them. I've owned 5 4runners, a 3rd gen Tacoma. Now I own a GX470 and LX470. I've built up a good reputation on Tacomaworld for doing quality work and I treat everyone's truck like my own. Let me know if you guys need any installs or mechanic work, I'd love to help. I use 98% snap-on tools, I only use snap-on torque wrenches.

    I'm located in the city of Lakewood.

    Install services:

    - Lift kits
    - Sliders
    - Bumpers
    - Skids/armor
    - Roof rack/awning
    - Exterior & interior mods
    - Sound systems (woofers, etc)
    - Intake/exhaust/performance
    - Lighting (ditch lights, light bar, wiring)

    Mechanical services:

    - Engine / Transmission replacement
    - Rebuild Heads / Headgasket
    - Timing belt / Water pump
    - Clutch
    - Suspension work/overhaul/service
    - Brakes
    - Power steering
    - Alternator & starter
    - Differential oil
    - Electrical repairs/diagnosis
    - Fluid changes (oil/trans/coolant/ps/diffs/tcase)
    - Just about any service. I don't rebuild transmissions/diffs.

    I can virtually vouch for Superdave1.0's work. I'm over on Tacomaworld quite a bit as that is the Toyo I have (currently here as I'm debating a 4Runner). Regardless, the people on TW love this guy, I've seen a ton of pictures of his work and have read all of the comments - he is the real deal. I will certainly be using him and make the drive from Costa Mesa once I decide what my starting rig is (keep the Tacoma or jump to a 4Runner).
    Happy Holidays gents and ladies!

    I don't sorry. Plan to install one on my personal truck. I don't have experience with them so I don't feel comfortable doing it on someone else's truck.

    I can appreciate the honest answer. I'll eventually want these done later on down the road so I was just inquiring. There are other priorities that needs my attention first. Let us know how your locker install goes.

    Had a lift kit installed by Dave on my 4Runner with KDSS. Install went smooth and he treated the car like his own. Great pricing and will definitely be going back.
    Thanks again Dave!
