Off-Road Shops?

A search didn't yield the result I was looking for - a list of 4x4/fab shops in AZ - so in addition to hoping this isn't a repost, I'm looking for input on local shops you've used and your thoughts about pricing, quality of work, etc.

I am aware of Avid Offroad (Gilbert) but have no experience with them.

I have used Stone Soup Metalworks (Glendale) for stuff for my Jeep. I had a good experience there.

Are there any other shops that you've used and would recommend? Any that you've used and wouldn't recommend?

Are there any good ones in the Tucson area?


Thanks!

 

Not sure in Tucson but SDHQ is very popular.

 

SDHQ--race quality work, a little steep on their prices (fab, parts, anything you could want)
AVID--top notch work, garage fab prices (fab only)
Desert rat
rubber side down


are you looking for parts or labor done?

 

Usually if it's something I can't or don't want to do myself I'll go to SDHQ (or Avid for fab)

 

You want top notch fab done?

I have a friend that I have known for over 16 years. He really is a top notch metal fabricator. His work has been featured in tons of custom truck and rod magazines. He was even on monster garage! His shop is right in the middle of Phoenix and despite everything his prices are very very good.

Talk to Kurt (Owner) tell him Jason Ducheny sent you.

 

Sierra Expedition does lift kit installs, parts and I'll more than likely go with them to Regear my truck. They are in Tempe/Mesa on Broadway and the 101.

 

Oh yea, I've got a lot of stuff from Sierra Expeditions too... good peeps

 

We post on here too, shoot me a PM with what you're looking for!

 

SDHQ FTW!

Are really only places local I buy parts from. Fab I have a friend that does it if its something I'm not able to do.

 

Great responses, thanks.

I have an '08 Double Cab Short Bed Sport 4x4 and a buddy of mine just bought the Baja edition. He's looking for sliders to start with and we'll see where it goes from there. Skid plates are probably on the short list as well. I'm always looking for something...

We live on the NW side of Tucson so wanted to stay close by if possible. PHX isn't so far away but shipping big heavy parts is killer!

 

Well you could always come up here and depending day/time could probably do a mini meet for a drink or wheeling or what-not too

 

You still want to hit Charouleau Gap some time?

 

Yessir, even if it is just a dirt road these days

 

Don't be fooled. A couple of obstacles were destroyed but there is still plenty of action in the washes - especially after the monster rains we got. Much of the road is still plenty rocky and interesting too.

 

cool, yea I'm game sometime man for sure

 

I'll have to host a trip after it cools off a bit. IF you get the itch before then, PM me and we'll plan a time to go.

 

We have two store locations in Tucson and are based there. If you need store info let me know.

 

That is one bad-ass-mutha-fucka right there...

 

Yea that's his personal ride - pretty sick!
