I am wanting to do some major auto work done on my Rodeo in the near future. I am looking for either a) a good recommendation on a quality and practical mechanic or b) someone with extensive auto knowledge (on here) that will do the work and guarantee their work (the work not the parts of course).

This is a list of what I want to do. I would provide all parts and will, of course, pay hourly for the labor.

--Need the front driver door window's regulator replaced. The spool is all messed up.
--Read driver door window doesnt work either. I don't know why but I'd like it fixed too.
--New timing belt tensioner and timing belt put on.
--New CV axle for passenger side and cv boot for driver side put installed.
--I am going to remove the life. In the front, the torsion bars just need to be cranked down. In the rear, one leaf will need to be removed from the pack.
--Need a bulb replaced in the console. Not important but I wouldn't mind having it done.

I'll also be adding a new set of tires and maybe wheels as well, but that's beside the point.

I know we have some good mechanics on here. I know of a few personally. Shoot me some pms of what you would charge me to do this. I'd like to try to have it done either one Saturday or a Saturday and Sunday. Or recommend a good mechanic. Of course, I'd rather keep the money within the people here (and tax free, hahaha).

Ok, I can understand if someone doesnt want to do all of it. How about we tackle parts first?

My first major concern is getting the lift removed. I need to have the torsion bars cranked down, the ball joint spacers removed from the front, and one leaf taken out of the rear leaf pack.

How much for labor? $12....$15 an hour?

Next most important thing, fixing the front window. I need to have the regulator replaced. The spool of wire that lowers and raises the window has split. I'm assuming it just needs to be replaced. Also, the rear driver window just doesnt work. I dont know why. New motor maybe?

Would anybody be willing take care of one of those two problems?

I could probably help with the window if you have the parts to fix it, I don't charge but also don't have much free time :cry:
