Looking for a Fabrication/Welding shop
I know this isnt a 4x4 website but I figured you guys might have some good sources into the whole general work field. I need a shop (preferably a custom/4x4 shop) that can switch my front end over to a solid axle rather than IFS. It basically involves cutting out the IFS, welding in leafspring hangers and shock hoops, and setting the steering up.

OK4WD out by Stewartsville is kick ass, they could probably do it for you.

OK4WD is indeed kick a$$. Good, reputable work. Also check out "The 4x4 Place" (973-891-1144) in Lake Hopatcong (About two miles north of Route 80 on Route 15's southbound side). The proprietor, Andrew, has been into building trail rigs for years and could definitely handle the work. You may have to ask him to repeat some stuff to you a few times (He's got a very thick Russian accent), but he does good work. Just got my Jeep back after having a short shaft SYE and custom CV driveshaft installed.
