Attitude performance
Did a great job on my 2011. Good luck calling them. I think they hate phone calls.

Theirs also a place on Irving park road by elston, They qouted me one price and charged me almost double.

Attitudes price on gears were absurd!!! The guy tried telling me there was over a grand in parts!! Was also just an all round cocky guy. I used Bob at Cnc offroad in kenosha. He did a custom Truss on my front axle and Yukon gears for just under 1500. Bob will get any of my future gearing or custom fab work. Just an honest down to earth guy that does good work at good prices!

Subscribing to this one. I am also on the quest to find a good Chicago area shop. Most places have no clue about a Jeep.
