off road shops in jacksonville

was looking through the forums but couldnt really find word on any shops near jacksonville that did good work. i know hedgehogs closed and i hear they were overpriced anyway, tryin to avoid 4wheelparts as well, also not hearing good stuff about them. anyway, hope to hear back soon. thanks ahead of time.

 

Hey im trying to do the same thing
heres a couple shops Ive found cant comment on the quality of their work but i know that extreme is family owned and i think dixieland is too
http://www.extremetruckstuff.com/

i havent personally talked to dixie but i did talk to extreme and they do lifts and all that even though their website doesnt say it

 

cool, ill check into them as well. im tyrin to get all my stuff planed out before i get back stateside.

 

what are you trying to have done?

 

looking at a 6" suspension. new tires, wheels, and front and rear bumper for starters.

 

Nice, i dont know too many places since Hedgehog closed down. I do all my work myself. I am sure there are a few small places to have it done at. If u want there are a few of us here in jax that can help u with the bumpers, i know the base can do your wheels and tires for cheap.

 

yeah a lot of the stuff i can do myself on base, i just need a shop to do the lift. there is other work i want done as well but that is for later.

 

what lift are you looking at? the procomp or fabtech? I was going to get the RCD 4-5" but i cant fit the wheels i want.

 

i prefer the fabtech mainly because ive had experience with them before on my last truck and i never had any issues with it. idk what wheels i want yet but i have an idea, something flat black with maybe the super swamper radial TSL in a 35". i want to rhino line my doors from the bottom to the crease in the door about a foot up. i think the flat balck bottom with the dark blue top would look pretty sick.

 

Yeah that would look pretty sweet. i have this obsession with everything on my truck being silver i have no idea why. i was looking at mickey thompson classic locks and nitto t/g 35's maybe 33's and i flip everyday between stage one or stage two. i dont want the spacers in the stage one. but the money for a stage two is alot. are you gonna run uca's? i mean you pretty much have to but i diont know what your thinking about doing

 

see that right there is another reason i need to find a good shop and why im planing this out so far in advance. im thinking stage 2 but i dont know yet. so much to think about. im wanting a daily driver but i also want to take it out on trails and tear shit up (not break my truck). i got time to research though.

 

Dude im in the same boat as you. im so f#$king picky it almost sucks i could have had this done weeks ago but i cant make up my mind it drives my girlfriend crazy. What VP are you in if you dont mind me asking I see your a crewman. Im a crewman at the C130 squadron on base

 

haha, i used to be next door to you. im with 45. ive spent the past 9 hours looking stuff up and i think all i have managed to do is find more stuff i want.

 

u out there in sig? I was just out there surging for you guys.

 

I need to figure out how I'm gonna install my lift too. I have a buddy whose military and can get me on base, that would probably be easier than doing it in my tiny drive way. No way I can afford to pay to have a shop do the install for me, buying the parts and tires alone is gonna be brutal on my wallet.

 

this whole lift is going to kill my pockets. thank got for per diem! i just need a shop to do the work lol

 

yeah i was in Naples for awhile with $144 a day...im not bragging but it does help my truck fund!

 

yeah im not makin that much but its better than nothing, a little pissed they took away our SRB. i was going to reenlist on deployment but not now if im not getting anything for it. ill just work on my extention a little.

 

alright so i decided on the fabtech 6" with the dirt logics (if im gonna go big i should do it right) id found wheels i like, cant remember them right now, and as far as tires im lookin at the BFG mud Terrains 35x12.5x17. thats my plan so far. still got some time to iron out the wrinkles and still need to find and talk to a shop but game plan is in motion.

 

check out All Jakd Up motorsports over on mill creek. They took care of my bronco for me on an engine tune and im pretty sure they specialize in suspension.

Great guys, no bullshit. great price.
