Who wants to make some money repairing my forks?

I can't seem to find the time, or the tools, to rebuild my forks, but I DO want this done so I can get my FJ back on the road.

Can anybody recommend someone, or a shop I can send them to for the repair work, who will do a quality job? I live in BFE. The nearest 'big' town that *might* have a semi-quality shop is Reno which is almost 2 hours away.

Emulators:  What are they? How do they work? Do they use any of your original parts? Do I want/need them?

I still have the stock 16" rims and brakes, and will probably stay that way too.

Thanks for any help guys. :good2:

Ok.  I've just spent 15 minutes trying to find Bill in the forum, with no luck. I'm a wee tad bit, actually, I'm VERY sick right now....

Can someone point me in the right direction to contact him?

Bill P is a jerk, but he rebuilds forks for $65 + parts and installs Emulators for an additional $15 +parts.

Rumor has it he gets parts 15% under retail but doesn't mind at all if you find a better price and ship the parts to him.
