Yes - go see them and talk to them a bit to get a feel for their knowledge.
There are always 40s there when I go by - front, side and rear. __________________ 2000 UZJ100 / 1997 FZJ80 / 1978 FJ40 / 1977 FJ40 |

If you want to deal with a really knowledgeable, skilled fabricator/4WD mechanic, talk to STEVE at Tarheel 4WD. I wouldn't let anyone else in that shop touch my truck, but I've known him a long time and he does some crazy stuff. Nice guy too. Tell him Will Lowe sent you and he'll take care of you. He did all the work on my cruiser.

Tarheel 4WD is a great shop if you have a Jeep or FJC.

yeah i have dealt with Steve before. He is a good guy. Never done any work on my cruiser.
Yes Johnny and Mark know a bunch about cruisers. Johnny actually has one and I think mark has had a few. They do good work at a pretty honest price. Get to know them, it takes a bit but they will warm up to you and are really knowledgeable about the trucks. They have done complete builds, frame swaps, and just about everything else. __________________ Josh Jones 77 Yellow FJ40 2.5OME, Custom bent Front bumper and rear tire carrier,33x10.5 BFG m/t's 89 FJ62 33"s, arb's front and rear, slee tire carrier, arb bull bar w/9500xdi,engel Fridge.

no, just go in person. dont just call. you prob wont get much info. they are mechanics not webdesigners. once you see their shop you will laugh that you even asked that question.
