CRUISER MECHANICS - Listed by State

[PVCsnorkel]

Added, do they do full service and restorations?

Yes, both

There used to be a kid in Longmont who was really good with Toyota trucks. His name was James and he had a stint running his own business maybe 10-15 years ago when he was maybe 20-30 years old. He ran the shop (James' Auto maybe?) and his mom (Diane?) ran the phones. He was also involved with the ratty Mazda/Honda tuner kid scene up there. Knew what he was doing, was very thorough, preferred OEM parts, had great pricing, and good follow through. Did a great full rebuild on my uncle's 4Runner's 22R back then and saved my neck on a 94 4Runner I had that another shop messed up. My uncle's early 2nd gen Runner has been on the road as a daily driver ever since, still going strong.

I wonder if he's still around. Does that ring any bells?

I haven't seen anything, there's no James Auto that I know of. I might have to stop and talk to one of the fellow Cruiser guys in town and see.

Hey all!
Does anyone know of a good LC mechanic in northern IL or southern WI? I went through the thread but it seems like most of the ones listed are not around anymore. Apologies if I missed one.

Trying to swap a replacement 2F and H55 into my 87 FJ60.


Thanks in advance!

Very Respectfully,
RC

If you use the map version of the list found here you will see that Rogers Automotive is in that area. Click on the icond and you will get full details. The data is from the FJ60 gsheet. The map may not be uptodate all the time.

Couple updates on Colorado shops. Maybe mentioned before in 28 pages? Probably worth updating the first post if the guy is still around.


Robbie Antonson, Adventure Offroad is no longer I. Colorado. Has moved to Arizona. Phone number still goes through to him and he was helpful in getting me pointed in the right direction to get parts locally but he’s not a Colorado based business any longer.

303-665-0128 fax number

I do not have specifics. I only talked to him briefly as it was morning and him being west of me made my call outside of business hours. It sounded like he still operates the same business simply in a new location. He was super helpful and did mention he’s tried previously to get his listing moved to Arizona. Hopefully a local can chat him up for some work.
