So this may be a long shot but I'm curious to know who lives in Canada and shops you recommend for work and/or parts.

Living in Calgary Alberta, I'm growing tired of these "off road" shops that are run by Toyota fan boys with their RTTs and 33s lol. Not only are they biased and frustrating to deal with, they hire staff that are usually worse in their hatred of anything not Toyota.

While we do have a 4WPs, I'm not a big fan of theirs plus the last time I went there, they couldn't even sell me the correct wheel lug nuts for my wife's Jeep GC.

I'm getting to the point where i might just say F it and just wait till I can get a shop in the states to build it properly.

I have good luck with ordering parts from tdotperformance.ca. Usually, end up ordering parts out the states. Offroad alliance, CJ pony parts, ADD ETC.

Live in northern BC so options are pretty limited for me.

I have also not had alot of luck finding even semi local shops for parts/ knowledge when needed. I'm down in Lethbridge. I usually end up ording parts outta the us. Shipping to the line and picking them up to avoid the over to boarder ****.

who do you go to in Lethbridge to install parts or have you done everything yourself then just go to a local wheel shop for alignments?

I do perty much all my own parts installs and maintenance. For alignments I usually take it to Davis GMC. They have a beauty top of the line in ground drive on Hawkeye aligner. The alignments come out mint every time!

Their shop forman Brian Lindsay is a wizard with alignments . Also have some top notch diag guys who do great repairs (even on fords) I have never had a problem with them. They haven't ever dicked me around. And I have never left with that feeling where you know you for screwed.

I’m from Calgary. Advantage Ford can get you almost anything. Drew is very good. If you are worried about price, get another quote and he will probably match it.

I picked up my Raptor in Jan 2017 (ordered in Aug 2016) from Advantage and they have serviced it never had an issue they always wash it and the staff are friendly.

OP ditto, I have similar experiences locally with the big box bolt-on performance stores. Considering exhaust, down pipes, CAI, turbo adapters and a tune so will probably take it to an exhaust shop and do everything else myself.
