    Hello,

    Hope everyone is well. I recently bought a 2003 Sport Edition V8 4Runner with 229k miles on it and am looking for a top-rated shop to have some work done, specifically new shocks (Bilstein 5100's seem like the way to go) along with brakes, tires, etc.

    I work full-time remote and am willing to make the trip as long as it's someone that really knows what they are doing.

    Would be appreciative of any recommendations y'all can provide.

    Gracias,

    Andy

    I've been living on the road for last 6 months, so it's really not the big of a deal. Looking for someone that knows 4Runners A-Z and has a lot of experience working on them.
