I found Troy through the IH8Mud forums. He works out of his garage workshop and personally handles all the work. His work is exceptional and unlike any mechanic that I have ever encountered.
I bought a new Lexus LX450 as my project truck for my do everything, road trip, mountaineering, expedition driving, vacation with family, etc. I brought it to troy to have a once over and to repair a few small wear and tear issues. We set up an appointment, and I expressed my goals for the truck and that I'd be doing more work over time (suspension kit, swing out bumper, winch and bull bar etc.). Troy got in the truck with me and took it for a drive. He tested everything that he could on a basic drive including the 4 wheel drive switches etc. In the end, he gave me a surprised vote of confidence that I had landed a very good truck for the age and the price I paid. Then we started with the work.
When I came to pick up the truck, he didn't want me to take it. He had discovered a small power steering leak due to a hose that was aged that had shown up after other repairs. I needed the truck for a couple days, so I took it home, but Troy insisted that I bring it back so that he could make it perfect (and while we awaited a part delivery). I did and he refused to accept payment (even for the cost of the part) because he had missed it and I had to come back.
This guy is the best. He is thorough, knowledgeable, skilled, and is active in the 4 wheel drive community. Now we're discussing my suspension mods. If you have a 4 wheel drive and have very specific ideas of what you want and you want great custom work. He's your guy. read more
