I recently moved to the area and need to find someone I can trust with my 97 fzj80. Anyone?
Does anyone know a good Cruiser mechanic in the Reno/Tahoe area?

I wouldn't worry about it being a list from the 60's forum, hopefully there is something on the list near you.

My 80 is running fine, I just want to be prepared. If something comes up I want to know where I'm going to get it towed if necessary. Trying this post from the side of the road doesn't appeal me. Neither does taking it to a complete random mechanic or (cringe) a dealer. If I had tools, time and a place to work on it then I would consider doing my own work. Since I have none of the above I need a mechanic. I realize this is a tech forum, I found all kinds of cool mods here that I had my old mechanic do. I truly appreciate everyones help and I'm looking into the mechanics mentioned so far. I saw a few in Grass Valley which isn't too far from Truckee.
Like Spresso posted in the link, quite a few of us use Sunshine Auto. Especially for alignments. One day, three of us ended up there; two 100 series and a 4Runner. It was pretty comical as nobody knew the other would be there.
I've used home since '96, he was the only guy in town that could align my Cummins.

You're looking at about a 45 minute drive to come down here. But there are at least 2 shops i know of. One of them always has at least 1 LC in front of it.

Do those two shops have a name? I don't mind the drive, I wasn't expecting to find one near the lake.
Hello Fullmode: I live in Reno and just picked up my first '97 LC--need a good mechanic--did you ever find one???
I have a couple if you're willing to drive to the South Shore.

You guys check out the battle born cruisers forum?
Just sent you the address.
LOL!
As long as they aren't the same one's sitting in front all the time.

What needs done?
Oil pan gasket, valve cover gasket, spark plug gaskets, possibly crank seal...pretty much every seal on the engine. 1992 with 350k. Kind of a barn find.

Oh damn, that's a hell of a project. Lots of good shops in town, lots of bad shops. Don't know many Toyota specific though.
