Good place to get gears/locker/headers installed in VA
Hey, just wondering if you guys can give me any automotive shops around the Chesapeake VA area that are pretty good with installs. I need to have a set of headers as well as a Detroit locker and 4.88's installed for a decent priced...i know for the most part taking it anywhere due to the type of work its gonna be rape but regardless i need to have em done.
I had one in mind but after three calls and not once receiving a quote back im done trying them...

The shop I used just went under. I drove by there the other day to talk to Steve (the mechanic I use) and the shop was closed. Became a transmission place. If you find someone good, let me know too and I'll do the same.

Well i found a place right now colled Production Offroad in chesapeake va off military highway. They have told me 900+fluid cost for the install in total with my parts. That is excluding the headers as i will just do them myself when i get back.

Well the wife picked up the truck this morning and she told me it was chirping its *** off (which i fully expected with her lead foot and the locker....) but then tonight i get this picture and the wife telling me sorry she broke it...still trying to figure out if its a tie rod or not...looks like it but i dunno...its going back to the shop and there gonna fix it again...i just wonder if its wear and tear bad luck or something they f'd up seeing as it happened right after we get it back from the gear install...

Yea the wife picked it up again today and the guy knew exactly what happened, he said that he hand tightened the bolt on the tie rod and meant to torque it down but he got sidetracked and forgot about it, oh well **** happens its fixed for now!
