I've been working on a 96 XJ for awhile. Cut front and rear fenders, chop top, custom rock sliders ect. I need a good recommendation on a shop to build a 4 link in the rear and a 3 link in the front with coil overs on all 4 corners. I already have hp Dana 60's build and the Atlas II ready to go. The shop I had planed on having do the work has decided to go another direction so I'm kinda stuck. Was considering Longview Drive Shaft or possible Old Town Customs. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I would say take it to Dave at Gulf Coast Crawl Shop.... He is very good... Longview Drive Shaft & 4x4 Shop really doesnt do custom stuff anymore... Mainly just a bolt-on and gear place in the past they did so pretty neat stuff but Mike & Dave are gone.... Dave was there top guy for custom mods and he left and went to GCCS down in Houston, Mike opened up a place in North Arkansas...


l8r,

how far are you willing to drive?

Fuller Customs in NW Austin, I havent been there yet but I see their work all the time

Truck Toyz in McAllen, extremely professional work

Twisted Fab in Dumas,TX does extremely nice work. Very close attention to detail with their stuff.

i used to work for Carl at OTC and would have to recomend his shop to you. pm me and ill give you his cell #. i work in denton and could come by one day and take a look at what your wanting to do and give ya some recomendations if ya like. his shop is in nacogdoches and only about 3 1/2 hours from denton. check out his site www.oldtowncustoms.com. and we have actually done the very build your working on right now, if you look through the pics you'll see a chopped xj.

there is also South Texas Auto Rebuilders in Laredo, that I like.. besides their regular work, they also do a lot of custom jeep projects, etc..

I have offroaded with many of them.. the owner is in a club called laredocp4x4.com which is well known in Texas.. they call me the mud master..

Im not sure how much custom work Infinity Conversions in RoundRock can do.. but they help me out a lot.. and have done some of the work on my truck.. I believe they will be building me my roll cage, when I have money again..

l8r,

X2 on this one... Dave does great work.

All of the OTC rigs I have seen are SIIIIIIIIIICK. :)
The work is awesome, very clean and original, and they did great on the trails.

Sorry to bring this back to the top...but these guys couldn't figure out how to turn on a welder or bend some tube. They put out some nice Superdutys on 20s and 37s using bolt on kits, but I've never seen any custom work out of their shop...maybe just the modification of lift kit on some truck for a certain magazine, which I wouldn't believe. 99% of the shops down this way are a fucking joke.

Are you still looking for someone to build your suspension? We are in the Mid Cities area.

longveiw driveshaft is a custom fab shop , dont know why some guys on here say that they are not doing custom fab work anymore, cecil buys brackets and tabs from us all the time. so I would give cecil a call 903 234 0022.

You also have the RockShop in the Colony which is really close to you.
