    Default WANTED: FoCo / Loveland jeep shop recommendation



    A friend (Carter Lake / Loveland area) asked for a mechanic recommendation:

    =========
    needs some stuff done on her TJ - new motor mounts; and an exhaust pipe moved so it doesn't rub the front drive shaft during right turns.
    =========

    I have experience with 4x4 Offroad on Willox for service (ARB work) and Bullhide for parts. Both have been decent to me. Any other recommend places nearby?

    Not Fort Collins 4x4. I don't have personal experience but know several people that a are not pleased with their work.

    Bullhide has done some work for me with no problems.

    Front Range off-road. I met the guy, his rig was amazing, he was a really good guy and seemed down-to-earth, I will be visiting him next time I need work.

    Thank you, yes. They are the folks that replaced the busted ARB's for me.

    While their schedule can be busy, they were timely on their schedule and nicely made recommendations for additional vehicle maint work as well as upgrades and simply provided the information to me should I wish them to tend the tasks. I think I worked with Bob. I am happy with their service and recommend'm.
