Description: Southeast Los Angeles County -- or just "Southeast Los Angeles" -- refers to a cluster of gateway cities and unincorporated suburbs located between South Los Angeles's Eastside, the San Gabriel Valley, and North Orange County. I wrote a primer of the region, for my series "California Fool's Gold," in 2009 and drew an earlier version of the map at that time. This one was completed a short time after. https://ericbrightwell.com/2009/04/28/california-fools-gold-a-southeast-los-angeles-primer/

Description: Downey got their start back in 1970 when a dealer parts manager and Landcruiser enthusiast named Jim began selling aftermarket off-road accessories and performance goodies out of the parts department at the Downey 'yota dealership. In 1975, the association with the dealership ended when Jim bought the accessory business from Downey, calling it Downey Off Road Manufacturing. Downey was now not just stocking aftermarket parts, but manufacturing their own. From suspension systems and rock armor, to engine swap adapters and exhaust systems, they had it all and their catalog became the wish book for 'yota owners everywhere. When the 4WD pickup models came to the states, Downey Off Road Manufacturing grew exponentially.
