Anybody know a good tire shop in the area who can read the tpms sensor from my oem wheel and then install a clone and program the 17" rock warriors I just bought? This way I could swap out wheels?

I don't, but as an alternative I've seen guys make a pressurized PVC holder for the TPMS sensors. They wouldn't be reading tire pressure anymore but would keep the dash light from coming on.

Maybe I misunderstood.
Our Lexus has a botton under the steering wheel that switches between two sets of tires. It may tell you how in your owners manual.
Really? I'd like to see that, I know there is a TPMS reset button, but I didn't not realize there is one for switching between sets.
I think he should buy a role back with a tool box and make house calls. Also it doubles as a tow rig.
I would be careful of this now, it's no bueno if your in an accident due to a flat and they find the sensors weren't installed. I have found a lot of shops if you ask them to do this will refuse. It's like asking an inspection tech to lick it an stick it on something that should have no business being on the road.
Ok I'll agree with the lick it and stick it part, but who gets in an accident because of a flat? I'm sure all us "car guys" would be at least glancing at our tires. They're part of our offroading tools. If you don't wheel, its part of the appearance of the truck. Other than that, I don't think someone would be on this forum if they didn't have at least a fleeting interest in either of those things.
I didn't say ask a shop either. I'll bet mostly none of them would do this, unless you bring him a case of beer. I'm sure most, if not all, the people here are DIY or at least have some technical skill and abilities. I know for a fact there's a God of Stairs, a God of HVAC, and a God of Electric (aka God of Mud Puddles).
I just offered up a different solution or viewpoint. I still have 4 tpms sitting in my glovebox. The little light of mine on the dash? I'm gonna let it shine. At least until I get to making a PVC pipe bomb
