OME Installer shop

[lgrt]

For the life of me I can not find a shop that will install OME lift. I live in the boonies... so... what resources do you suggest for locating a shop without being on the phone all day... Yes, I've googled checked out ARB dealer locator (what a waiste) and have an email into ARB, but would like to know how others find good shops.

I'm preparing the rig to drive to the Arctic Ocean. You can follow the trip at LastGreatRoadTrip.com

I'm in the Seattle WA. area but can travel for a shop that comes highly recommended. Suspension is one of those things i don't what to take a chance on.

thanks

Any Les Schwab dealer can do it.
I too live around this area, and a few techs from Les Schwab told me they do the installs.

Also call up Doxon Toyota in Auburn and find out where the place is that customizes their FJs.

They have had a few done up with the OME front and rear lift.

Hummmm.... I went to Les Schwab and they are good for an ARB Bullbar but the guys in Poulsbo said Les will do a revtech or tuff country lift but they are not able to install OME... Maybe i should check a couple of others..

I will give Doxon a call...

Thx

Ask for Leroy the sales manager there, he should be able to tell you where they get theirs done at.

They almost always have one of the ARB editions on the lot.

thx again... i checked out your site and the snow pics... those were great... I got this rig because I mush a few sled dogs and was tired of getting stuck in the snow as I tried to get to where i could run the dogs :-)

Hopefully i'll have pics to share soon at Last Great Road Trip - One truck, two generations, 14 days and 5,000 miles and show off the voodoo blue w/ a new ARB package

Too bad that doesn't help me - the nearest Les Schwab is 1,400 miles away! WTF?

Call ARB in Renton (425-264-1391) and ask who they recommend since they know the shops in your area personally. This way you can get an actual ARB dealer and not just some shop that buys the parts from random wholesalers and resells them.

We are about 4hrs south so a bit out of the way but if you wanted to make a trip to Portland OR, let us know. We stock all the parts.

I highly recommend Mark and the guys at Metaltech4x4.com, as they did mine and I have no complaints what-so-ever! Install time was great too!

ok... just to close the loop and help out anyone who comes after me with the same question.

Mark and LT at Metal Tech are great. They helped me out with everything I needed and did a great job. I can say that since I've put about 600 miles on the rig since the work and tested it all out.

You can see the work they did (Sway-A-Ways, ARB Bull Bar, IPF fog lights, Warn Winch) on my Road Trip Adventure Blog (LastGreatRoadTrip.com). Prepping to drive the Arctic Circle can be a lot of work, the guys at Metal Tech made that part of it easy.
