4runner overland specialists in North Carolina?

[Carolina4x4]

Looking to have my 5th Gen 4runner Limited made ready for extended overlanding in North and South America. Anyone know of a shop in North Carolina that specializes in this? I want someone who understands the particular needs of overlanding in the developing world (versus 4x4-ing, rock crawling, etc domestically). Looking at appropriate shocks, brake upgrade (we will be pulling a Conqueror trailer), auxillary batteries, rock sliders, ARB bumpers, and one or two other things. Major investment so I want it done properly and expertly. Thanks.

Midstate Toyota in Asheboro has been doing some builds - ask for JD. Example at https://www.rockcreekoverland.com/

Pretty sure midstate does all the stuff for rock creek and IIRC haley toyota in roanoke worked with arb/ome on the stuff for mountain state overland. To my knowledge apex overland doesnt have a physical location that I know of but it seems they work on a lot of toyota stuff. Pretty sure the owner is active duty military and wheels what he sells/installs. And there is a new place north of atlanta called o'neil overland & mercantile that doing some cool stuff and is a vet owned business. These are the places I'd trust if I needed work done.

What conqueror did you get?

Southeast Overland in Seneca, SC. When you do a Google search there's actually a picture of a black 4Runner in front of their place. Never dealt with them myself but I've heard some good things and folks seem to like their soft shackles a lot.

My vote would be Southeast Overland as well. They are a great group of guys.

I'd check out Apex Overland. They're located in NC.
