Hi Folks !!!
First days in October (3th - 11th) I will be doing a surgeon master in UCLA University.
I know LA is a very big city, so I would like to visit some nice 4x4 accesories stores, not very far from the university. Also I will not have much free time, but as soon as I can escape , I would like to visit some stores and maybe pick-up some autogift ...
Remember I come from Spain, and your stores are like Disney stores for me !!!
So any advice would be very preciated !!!
Cheers

I also thought on 4wheelparts in Compton, but I don´t know if it´s to far from UCLA. I´ve heard traffic jams are big in LA...
Any thoughts ???
Cheers

I think my rig is going to look a bit rusty after crossing the ocean.
Toyotas can do everything, but I just get a new paintjob, you know...

drfakoo

I know what you mean, but what I need is you to RECOMEND me only a few, two or three maybe, cause I don´t have much time to visit them all, hahahahaah

Four Wheel Parts in Compton is their corporate headquarters and warehouse, so should be a big store. Compton is about 25 miles from UCLA. There's a smaller, local 4 Wheel Parts in Van Nuys, a mere 8 miles or so from UCLA. Also in Van Nuys is Performance Products, now owned by 4 Wheel Parts, but run as a separate entity. Not much to see there, but they have a separate Toyota Truck catalog.(they have most Bilstein shocks, etc in stock.) To see Genuwine American monster-type street trucks(most of which would tip over on the slightest off-camber sidehill IMO), try Off Road Unlimited in Burbank, a mere 7 miles or so from Van Nuys. Also, if you're interested in Land Cruisers, you must visit Specter Off Road(SOR.com) in Chatsworth, a mere 8 miles or so from Van Nuys. That Conejo Off Road might be good, but I haven't been there. Thousand Oaks is probably about 30-40 miles from UCLA. Be sure to ask knowledgable locals about the famous L.A. traffic--at certain times, and in certain travel directions, you can drive anywhere unimpeded, at other times and locations you don't wanna go anywhere till tomorrow.
