You might also be interested in checking out these places:

Kartek in Riverside (close to Orange county)

McKenzies in Anaheim

Both places cater to the off road racing/sand rail crowd with lots of shocks and parts to oogle over.

Tricounty gear in pomona,They're not in Orange county but just up the 57 fwy and the 10 fwy.

They're a full service do anything can get anything type of shop.Jason is the owner and the man to talk to.


A shop to avoid is Fourwheeler supply in Huntington Beach.Too high on their prices and a shitty attitude to go along with it.

Mackenzies rules,I love the used table, but is geared mostly toward the high speed off road race world.

good luck

I think Socalchef (look up his name on this board) has a bender right now and would probably be happy to pull some bends for a few bucks. I have a fab guy in Lake Forest that will also do bends and such, but might be a bit spendy as he is a high end fab guy.

Other then that best off to hit up a local 4x4er that has a bender. Personally I use Dallas (stinkbug) down in Vista, about an hour drive.
