Check this out! This is a fan made video, but I like it and I appreciate the hard work and dedication it took to make this happen. Tell me what you guys think! Should I finally begin advertising instead of just running off word of mouth?

Transformation Thursday!

Over the past couple visits we were happy to have the opportunity to build up Robert's JK from basically stock into a sweet little street and trail machine!

It started with fixing the steering and suspension, which had a pretty severe rake! We installed JKS true 3.5" dual rate springs with proper isolators in the front in place of puck spacers to level it out and compensate for the weight of the bumper and winch. Next, all new shocks and bump stops to set it up proper. Lastly we replaced the original ball joints and wheel bearings, and installed a new steering kit.

The customer shared his desire to run some 37's in place of the 35's, and after reviewing some options we eventually decided on these 37" Maxxis RAZR tires for a great ride both on and off road. Now to turn these, we installed a set of 5.13 gears front and rear, and threw an Eaton E locker up front for those serious situations.

Now with these bigger tires, how are you going to turn them?! Have us install hydro assist steering of course! We removed and disassembled the factory gearbox, drilled and tapped it for the ports for the ram, and rebuilt it to install a 1.5"x6.75" ram down on the axle. We chose this over the 1.75" bore for the street drivability and steering speed, over the slight decrease in power compared to the bigger ram.

Lastly to round out the esthetics, we installed steel inner and outer fenders front to back, a new soft top, new headlights, and a matching rear bumper to complete the look.

Oh and what JK doesn't need the oil cooler replaced of course...we knocked that out too!

Here's to many safe and comfortable years of wheeling with a mild, but proper build. Enjoy Robert!

I've been so busy working that I haven't updated the page with a build here in a while, but the proof is in the pudding. Happy customers, positive testimonials, and quality work! I love it!

Welded in some King bumps for a customer as a quick in and out job, and you could say he's "jumping" for joy 😎
