Need work done, where to go??
I just bought my first jeep not too long ago and couldn't be happier with it 
I'm ready to lift it finally, but don't have the mechanical smarts to start modding on my own. For the time being my JK is a DD and I'm not looking to get too deep into mods....small lift, 33's. I live in SoCal, OC area, and was wondering if anybody could point me in the right direction to a shop that they have had experience with and they'd return to. Cheers!

OFFROAD EVOLUTIONS is in Cali. When I'm ready for my lift, I'm driving out there so they can do it. To important a step to have some small shop mess up something, imo.

Thanks for the welcome! Its been a fun year, been out on the trail with it quite a bit. Even though it's still stock, I'm amazed what it can get through! Incredible machines

Thats awesome. Got my rubi jku right as the snow started falling. Been wheeling only twice and not too much at that. Cant wait to get it out this spring/summer and do some real wheeling. Amazing machine and going to be even better when i get the funds all together for my lift and gears and whosawhata. If im out that way maybe youll well have to whell together and vise versa. have a great one and good luck.

Off Road Evolution is in Fullerton. Never been there but their great reputation precedes them. I will probably schedule with them to have my gears installed next year.
AEV has a shop in Orange County. I forget where exactly, but I believe it's near Laguna or Newport Beach.
4 Wheel Parts does lift installs. The ones I know about are in Redondo Beach & Compton (but not sure the Compton store does installs).
There are also a wide variety of 4x4 shops in the SoCal area that are probably very good, but don't have as large a reputation as others.
Finally, there are a lot of great members on this forum who are willing to help out others with garages, tools, and know-how... often for good company and a case of beer! They're often referred to as a "lift party" and include a bunch of people drinking beer, installing a lift, and having a fun time.
