I was just wondering what Offroad shops there are in WA, I haven't had a need yet but I was thinking that I don't really know of any. I know of 4wheelparts in the area but I don't care for them. Anyone have a favorite place they frequent?

It really depends on where you are located. I would stay away from 4WP...I am always disappointed in them. I used to frequent the shop in Oak harbor (GREAT customer service) and the one in Bellingham....Damn if I can remember their name...
See, living on the Island(south end) and I had no idea there was a shop near by...I am going to try and find out the shop in Oak Harbor. But I will also check out the others that were mentioned.

Ya they are way cool.....They are right near the intersection of Midway and SR20 I believe....Turn right at the last light before you go up the hill out of town and they are about 2 blocks down on the left.
Ive had very good luck with 4WP Seattle (Lynnwood) store. I know there is Northwest Offroad Specialties in Bellingham and I believe there still is Central 4WD in Kent.

Yeah the 4WP in Lynnwood is the one that I went to and did not care for it. I was in there to ask about lift kits and they were trying to sell me some crazy expensive kits. I asked the sales(kid) about the adjustable Billsteins, and if they go up to 2.5 inch lift. He said that they don't carry them and he was not sure of the lift height....(thats funny because there was a large banner behind him with the Bilstein coilovers on it and other types of shocks) so I pointed that out and he said that they do carry them but they only lift to 2inches and do not go to 2.5inches....I said thanks for your help and left. That kinda soured my experience with 4WP, they may be a good place but I would rather spend my money at a quality shop that knows whats what. My brother-in-law is all gung ho for the place and I just go with it. I suspect he will feel different about the place at some point.

Reason: Added some stuff
Same experience at Lynnwood 4WP.....I drove in there in my lifted tacoma and asked a few simple questions and it was an immediate "for that thing?" They only care about lifting the big 3 and the occasional hummer on like 30" rims. That place is a forest fire of jackass-ery....Ill give my money to the local guy with better customer service, even if it costs significantly more. 99 times out of 100 I will support the little guy....You're just a number to 4WP.....

Reason: added address
So what does Better Offroad carry? Do they fabricate parts, or carry/sell offroading parts and what not? I'm guessing it's not strictly Toyota stuff they carry but just general parts?

Down here in Vancouver, seems a lot of people use Woody's 4x4. I've been in there a couple times looking at bed covers and tool boxes, but they've got a pretty good selection of everything from what I could tell...
