With the talks of lockers and such, are there any shops in MM that are knowledgable in gear setup, locker install, suspension upgrades etc? Any experiences?
Try Armark 4WD - Mr. Kit Aragon (02)727-7201 to 04 - 172A Mabini St, San Juan, MM (address and number as per 4x4 Mag Feb 03 issue). Sa pagkaka alam ko mga casa pa minso ang nagpapamodify sa kanya (recently Ford modified one of their 4x4 Rangers). He races 4x4, a 4x4 officionado (a hardcore class driver if I may say), he sells mostly branded stuff too (maybe mahal but well worth it) and he must be good kasi he have lots of friends and clients in the 4x4 community.
Mr. Brian Diaz. nice guy to talk to, very frank about the details you would like to be done.
Authorized distributor:
ABR bumper bullbars (Made in Thailand)
Procomp accessories
Rancho shocks
Jaos accessories
They mostly deal with LC80 setups but any rig can also be dealt with, just allow time for ordering and shipment process.
Yup, 99 Offroad House is highly recommended. Sila Ramon Toong and Ronald Mercado doon. They did the suspension tuning of my Strada and Pajero. I particularly like the way they tuned the suspension of my Pajero. They used rancho rs9000 and dobinson springs and torsion bars.
