Whats up guys??? I'm Anthony, don't have a TB yet, the stats i put are my Dad's TB. Looking to get one real soon and i could definitely use advice on parts and where to take it to get work done (i.e. lift kit, roof rack, tire relocation kit, light bars, skid plates...you know all the fun stuff). or if anyone knows of a TB or Envoy thats already built up and in decent shape and if for sale... let me know!!! Anyway, i know a few spots, most you guys have already covered (Lacey, Success, Wharton), but i look forward to find new spots, gettin stuck and gettin dirty!!!

Shop - no... just do it yourself! The fun part is doing it yourself and learning the vehicle.

And what's a tire relocation kit?

I agree! Do it yourself. We all have done the installs ourselves... just try to get some other members to help you. We've got a good amount of NJ people on here.

I think he means a rear spare tire mount... :scratch:

Anthony,

:thumright: Welcome :thumleft:

You learn to do the work yourself, which is not that difficult and you'll not only feel good about yourself but have tools and money for more stuff for your truck, when you get one.

The knowledge you gain about the truck and mechanics itself is the most valuable of all. Good luck :cheers:
