hey all....am new to san diego....ive got a 90 4runner that has got tranny and clutch issues...was wondering if anybody out there could recommend a quality shop for good value maybe that specializes in toyota 4wds in the san diego area...thanks...

 

try the truck shop on miramar rd

 

thanks mate...any tips on areas near san diego for beginner 4wdrivers....thanks

 

There's plenty here. From easy fire roads to some potential body damage and everything in between. Now is the time for the desert too. You've got another 4 to 5 months of decent (not scalding) weather. Just remember that the daily temps out there can change 50 degrees between the hottest part of the days to the coldest part of the night.
Hit me up for any areas you're considering if you want.
There is a good Anza Borrego Desert State Park map and some books. Ocotillo Wells is within the Eastern part of the park too. Great for family camping too as well as hiking.

 

theres hundreds of places, ocotillo wells, borrego, lake morena area, jacumba, and many more....

 

ocotillo is sick, so is truck haven !! i unfortunatly tipped my 2door out there on halloween last week :-( thats ok now im not afraid to start cutting! ( plus i just found the exact same truck for sale lol )

- let me know if ya wanna go wheelin!

 

all right...you guys got me excited....will fix these tranny issues in the next week and then i will be out there...talked to guy today about that octillio wells...sounds great...stoked to get my truck out there driving over stuff....will hit you guys up when i am fully functional ...thanks again for all the info...
PS..tipped over 4runner is cool...

 

Nice before and after pics with your avitar

 

ya it was semi clean before.... lol. but hey if your wheelin body damage happens. the beautiful thing is after we tipped back over the door still opened perfectly!

 

Mine has been on both sides, top and the rear bumper and both doors open and close fine. Didn't even break either side mirror. They just folded in. Did destroy the removable top, rear bumper, front bumper, grill and a fender though.
Like you said, it happens.

 

hey do you guys know of any bigger toyota clubs out here? i always go wheeling with my jeep buddies ehhhh. j/k

 

Beach-N-Toys. Not huge but strictly Yota.
They used to meet up at Filippis in Poway once a month.

Tierra Del Sol is all brands and is a big one.
Don't know of the other S.D. clubs.

 

You got a locker in there? If not you should.

 

You should check this out if you can swing it.
