Haha I would have to agree
had a blowout on my drive back from Houston with the Michelin Defender LTX M/S and decided that was a good excuse to spring for the 285/65/R18 new KO3. They are super quiet actually and look a lot cooler.

Other than the upside-down bezel, this thing is pretty much perfect.

Colvin Automotive on Hancock.
That's the one, love driving by there on my lunch as he's always got cool toys outside. The hundy with the Texas flag fender was right in front of this one, and have seen a couple old FJs and a beautiful Iron Pig sitting out front a few times.

Jack of all trades, master of none. @77mustard40 got his tub repaired & painted there, good work if you stay on them. Not cheap or speedy

Master of spending the customer’s coin for sure. Used to be late 70’s FJ55 up there getting two grand of custom BS a month. We’re talking electric windows activated by twisting the knob on the manual crank kinda custom. They have good craftsmen but they’ll bleed you if you’re not watching carefully.

Last shop to touch the transmission, as far as I can tell, in the 62 before I bought it. Transmission blew last week.
Opened it up, 2 @ 7/16” bolts substituted on the pan, head missing off of one. One of the bolts holding the filter/strainer was laying in the pan, the rest were finger tight. No gasket on the filter.
Needless to say the transmission is toast. Good times. I have another tranny from one of our friends though.
Found a bunch of other questionable work done that correlates with receipts in the truck.
I probably wouldn’t let them air my tires up.
I usually go to Bearden Automotive for most of my stuff those guys are great
Bearden is definitely the place to go for general work on Japanese vehicles; they did great work replacing the front diff on my 2010 LS460L AWD when it needed it. They worked with me as I preferred to source my own parts (labor warranty only) and saved me some money when the shop manual called for engine out but they were able to get it done without stripping the bay.
Sad to hear the above about Colvin given some of the cool/rare vehicles I often see parked outside.

I will say I am not 100% sure it was Colvin, however, there are several invoices from them in the truck and at least one talks about the tranny.
If I can't do the work myself, I'll talk AJ or Jimmy.
