    Another TRD PRO getting Eibach lift springs. I really like this kit for the PRO model.

    Timing cover replacement on this very clean 86 4runner. Have done a few of these.

    Fixed up a couple of 4runners. I appreciate the folks that trust me with working on their trucks. I strive for great quality and nothing less!

    Another black 5th gen 4runner today. Installed the Eibach rear ERS system. An adjustable rear spring set up, that allows the owner to dial in their rear height. This is my second time installing this kit. I really like it, serves a good purpose.

    Had the pleasure of installing Bilstein 5100's on this brand new 4Runner. KDSS version.

    Thank you for a job well done Dave!

    For anyone wanting to have work done on their 4R I can't recommend Dave enough! He definitely knows his stuff and his rates are fair.

    Not a 4R, but worked on a very clean GX470 this week. The air bags failed, leaving the truck to ride on the bumpstops. Did a Metaltech4x4 air bag delete, plus bilstein 5100 shocks all around. Subtle lift, and back in business.

    That green sure looks good! I'm very pleased with the Eibach system too.

    3G Tacoma this past weekend.

    KING shocks all around, SPC UCA and Deaver AAL. Truck rides like a dream, wish I could afford Kings!

    Had the please of installing a full lift kit on this very low milage 5th gen. Eibach stage 2R full kit. It's a really nice kit and the rear shocks are sweet. Ride is nice, I do recommend it.

    Mine is the 5th gen from April 14. I would first like to say thank you to everyone on this forum for contributing. I would never have found Dave without all of you.

    I just returned from Moab after Dave installed the Eibach suspension and everything was flawless, but the pictures he took above do not tell the whole story. It was actually raining the entire time he was working on my truck. It made everything more difficult, but not once did he complain even though he was soaking wet. His attitude is professional and friendly, his prices are ridiculously low, and if you hang around, he’s happy to teach you and answer any questions you have. I seriously had a great time. In fact, that was his one mistake…I enjoyed the experience so much, I now have a nice list of other upgrades I’m going to bug him to work on, so all of you should be seeing more pics soon. Winch and Viper cut coming up. Thanks Dave!!

    I truly appreciate your post here!

    I had fun chatting with you and working on your rig. Can't wait and look forward to any future mods you have planned. It's a really nice 4runner you have. Also stoked to hear all went smooth in MOAB. Cheers man!

    3rd gen 4runner was here for some much needed love. Timing belt/water pump replacement. New accessory belts too.

    I always recommend the AISIN timing belt kit, it comes with just about everything needed. New pulleys, tensioner, etc, all Japanese parts.

    Had this sweet 3rd gen 4runner over to fix a major issue. When giving it throttle, the truck would stumble and die. The owner was confident it was the fuel injectors, and he was right! Replaced fuel injectors and did a complete valve cover gasket job, including cam plugs.

    Highly recommend working with Superdave, he installed a new suspension on my 5th gen 4runner and helped figure out the best way forward for my vehicle by checking on components. Amazing to find such an honest mechanic, can't wait to bring my 4runner back you Dave!

    Hey Super Dave, I'm looking to get my 4Runner lifted and as mentioned in many reviews, you're the go-to guy. Would love it if we can connect.
