I’d like to have my FJ80 inspected and I don’t know where to go. Anyone has any recommendations?

I tried to call and email and never got a reply from them. I was gonna try and drive there tomorrow, but I guess not. I have a guy that works on my cars, but I don’t feel like he’s the guy to work on my LC.I personally haven't found anyone that is even remotely cruiser savvy...there's TLC performance south of town but he's mainly older trucks and said he was so busy he wasn't taking on any work. It royally sucks.
I know it's not the cheapest option but the dealer isn't a bad place for big things. At least you have the peace of mind of it getting done right.I tried to call and email and never got a reply from them. I was gonna try and drive there tomorrow, but I guess not.

I know how you feel. I just moved here and am currently in an apartment. I washed my car at 3 am in my "driveway" one weekend night so nobody would report me.I never got an email from them either, finally got him on the phone once. REALLY nice guy just very busy. I need to rebuild my axles and some more than just super basic maintenance but apartment living is killing that ability so I'm a little SOL. I've heard Tansky is tolerable but the pricing I've personally received is outrageous.
You may be looking for a proverbial unicorn. Your truck is older the the techs who work at the dealer. Seriously, contact Brad Harmer at Imports Plus Automotive and ask him about it. He has been running a successful shop for many years. I watched Jim Chenoweth do mine and it is pretty straight forward - not rocket science. I am sure a guy like Brad who has been working on imports for decades can handle it.Would prefer a competent LC80 guy.
Fair point. I will see about getting in touch with Brad. Thank you for the recommendation.You may be looking for a proverbial unicorn. Your truck is older the the techs who work at the dealer.

Good to know. I appreciate the info! I’m going to take a look when I get the car back. I got the inspection report emailed to me but haven’t heard from the dealer.Probably depends on what exactly needs done. I think I have heard good things in general about Luke's. I have only used Lucore up in Plain City, but it was minimal stuff like alignment and associated lift adjustments. I think one of the owners is a Toyota Truck kind of guy though.
