Best Fab Shop - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

shaunlyo · 05-13-2012, 08:12 PM

So here is the deal. I have myself a 2000 TJ. 4.0 with 5 speed and a 81 HP Kingpin 60 and 14 bolt. I am looking for the best shop to place them underneath my jeep. I want to keep it low, around 2" of lift max, and sitting on 35's for now but eventually 37's. I am hoping for some tips as to which shops to call. I still have some questions and some decisions I have not made but I am looking to make those with whatever shop I decide on. Any help would be appreciated. I would not be opposed to someone themselves doing the work as opposed to a shop either.
I can and will be building the axles but I am not a fantastic welder and want this thing to still be able to do 70-75 down the freeway. I have built a lot of projects but my welding is usually done by a friend. However he now has a baby girl and he is expecting another, so I am going to have someone else do this. Please save me the flaming and help ,e find the right shop or person to get this thing put together right. Thanks.

I would look into Trent Fabrication. THey build ULTRA 4 cars and know what they are doing. They also support all the local rock crawling events.

Just my 2 cents

Check with Dr. Smash in Carson, Sierra 4x4 in Gardnerville for shops. Or PM SaturnICL on Reno 4x4. He used to work at ORI before it closed down, he does some great work. He lives in Reno.

Samco Fabrication, Trent Fab, Dr Smash are all good guys to work with.
