| Local shops to your area
Eric(erymer) brought up a good point. I am starting this thread to provide shop information (whatever way it pertains to providing cruiser assistance) throughout NC. As the information is gathered i will follow up with a sticky thread sorting the work and general geographic areas out for everyone including shop numbers and addresses. I know some of the information may become duplicate but information thats easily found makes it easier for all of us.

Wish I knew more trustworthy people around here that were as competent with various aspects of cruiser work as they think / say they are!
EDIT: Good idea erymer!!

| And that's exactly why I thought I thread like this would be helpful. This way we can take info from other cruiser owners who have used some of these shops before.

| just got my windshield frame and fender apron back from Ellis plastic media blasting. They did a great job and even removed 4 rusted bolts that I couldn't budge. They had a 1 day turnaround and all of it was only $40. They will definately be getting the rest of my parts for work.

| I am in greensboro and am looking to put on a 4 in lift. Not right away, but within the next year. I plan on running 33's. I don't want to do anything drastic as long as I am still running the stock engine.

| good deal. I take it you've done a couple before. I am thinking of installing a set of shackles before I get to that point to give me a little more clearance. So I might need to pick your brain a bit. Thanks for all of your help so far. I would definately be up for a wrenching weekend.

| If you need your whole car stripped and powdered coated try these guys. I had a 12 ft roof rack diped and coated by both of these companys. They are right next to each other. You can drop off your item at the stipper and then they can take it to the powder coater down the street!

| Hey guys,
Anybody know of a good Toyota/LC mechanic within an hour of Charlotte. I need to replace my oil pan gasket. I have the tools and the space just not the time to do it. I don't trust my local dealership. They told me they never see LC's as old as mine in there for service (basically they said we can do it but you might want to go elsewhere). I may still try to do this myself unless I find a shop to do it for a reasonable price.

| You are talking about the 80 right ?
I would not trust anyone down here my way for that but maybe the dealership.
Not too sure though, they had never seen a 45 before in there.

| Darin,
Yes, I am referring to the 80. You have been keeping up, I haven't even added the 100 to my sig line yet. BTW, VERY nice job on the 45!
Anyone know of a toyota tech that drives an 80 or LC in general?

| Darin,
Do you know anything about that "Toyota" shop on the south end of Bragg Blvd.? The one with the "TRD" sign. He is located before Bragg becomes Robeson.

I also looked at the 40 on post the other day and it was about a 4,000 dollar truck at the most, not 10,000.

I agree with you on the 40 at the lemon lot. It is not bad but it is not worth $12,000 either.
