Along the lines of my last question about protection...I'm working on another project and just did a pretty extensive refresh of pretty much everything...the trans casing, rear diff etc are still kinda bleh looking...killing the vibe. The one place in the area that I know does dry-ice said the amount of work is too small for the ice ordered to run the machine...any other suggestions on who does that type of work around here? Doesn't have to be dry-ice if there's another method...just want the 21 year old components revived as much as possible.

I'm a German sled guy at heart who just happens to know a Toyota is required if you like this kinda s***...
Most balls to wall project I've ever done though and got mega carried away with the parts order, but the car is fully weaponized. I've had 911, RS3, etc...this is the best handling car I've ever owned. Anyway...if anyone knows someone who likes to restore...shoot them my way.

I don't know the specifics of what they do, but I've heard High Flyer Arms in Warrenton does a bunch of engraving.
Does anyone have suggestions on where to go to have my Dobinsons IMS shocks recharged with Nitrogen? I missed the memo that it’s an annual maintenance item and my 100 rides like garbage.
Ive had no luck finding a shop with the appropriate lossless chuck for the flat style valves on them.
I’d prefer not to take the shocks out to ship them to Dobinsons for the refill, as I’m frustrated enough that I’d throw them away and buy another brand.

I've charged Bilsteins and Fox shocks at the shop. Not sure if Dobinsons use a different valve though.

Mind sharing the memo or its source? I've had the IMS shocks on my 80 for a few years but not many miles and they ride fine.
The details came straight from Dobinsons after I inquired about a rebuild due to poor ride quality.

Does anyone know a source to get QUALITY Toyota body parts specifically 96 2003 Toyota Tacoma rear bumpers?
I installed this bumper six weeks ago and it is already rusting

Can you wait a week or 2? There might be another parts sale for Memorial Day.
That shows fitment for 1G Tundra.
Have you tried to polish that rust off? I cleaned up my 60s bumper that had a little of that going on. Used Flitz.

Or you can buy the pieces and have any standard shop install, that's how I replaced the while system....CATs from a shop off eBay...way cheaper. But rest of pipes I got from toyota
