4 Wheel Parts Denver any good?

Ok, last question before the regearing and locker. I'm going to have it installed, and the closest place is 4 wheel parts. There have been some terrible reviews of other locations, but the Denver location gets some decent reviews.

Is there anyone else who has used them for an installation?

Is there a better place in the Denver area?

Thanks.

There are 2 4WP in Denver that I know of, (1 on Federal and the other out towards Stapeleton). Both Troy and I are NOT a fan.

Get a real Toyota guy to set up the gears. I can also recommend Jacob at www.toycrawlers.com (Broomfield), or Scotty C www.addictedoffroad.com (Loveland)

This Link may be helpful for all things Toyota in Colorado.

You forgot Brian (thefatkid) down in Littleton. Easiest way to contact him is on COTTORA (www.cottora.org)

I would not have 4WP do something as sensitive as setting up gears.

X2. I don't care what their reviews say. I helped a friend swap diffs front to rear because his 4WP set up rear end blew up, on the trail.

Ok, good suggestions.

Anyone know about High Country Performance 4x4?

They are close by.

I don't know anything about them. But as suggested you should go to a place that knows toyotas. Your front diff is a PITA to setup correctly.

High Country is down off of Santa Fe Right? I've heard good things about them on frontrange4x4.com.

And yes TC is right, if I had to pick one person out of all these good suggestions, I'd want to do my gears it would be Brian (thefatkid) he is in Littleton. (Also Toyota Master tech at Groove Toyota on Broadway - but he does side work) If you want his number PM me.

And frankly I'd bid out several of these suggestions....

I went with Scott at Addicted. Going to get some 4.30s and a Detroit in the rear. If he's good, then maybe we'll see about some new suspension in the future...
