Off-road Shops in Ohio

Now that im no longer in DFW, I need a new shop for the above difficult work on my truck. I live in Columbus but tend to be all over the state so I dont mind traveling if the folks are good. Look forward to your recommendations. Thanks!

 

@K-Paul, D&R Motors in Columbus, did a fine job with electrical and suspension, fluid film and minor body repair. Matthew and Jarrod are passionate about the work they do. Steve's Auto Service, Cuyahoga Falls. Been my go to lately for normal service and the closest to the house. Steve's is honest and competent. NEO Motorsport in North Royalton, Roman is a really cool dude, knows what he is talking about and can get the work done. Been fortunate to have found these shops.

 

^ I wasn't sure Roman was still in business as I kind of lost touch with him, but I concur that he's a squared away dude. Had a really nice Taco for a time. He'd be my choice for "overland" (shuddering at the word) type work.

 

there are a couple ohio 4runner specific groups on facebook.. im a member of a couple.. .several shops in columbus, dayton, cleveland areas. i would check them out. D&R is mentioned often, but some have had spotty issues / reviews recently on work performed.

 

Yeah, D&R i ran into as a coincidence. They wont take phone calls. Id like to get fluid film applied to my runner to mitigate salt (its a 13 that originated in Maryland and had a two year sabbatical in Texas.) D&R is a vendor.

Rust is not terrible, but id like to start protecting the frame a little more.
