Default Conversion shops in Texas?

Guys,
Anyone know of some places to take your JK for specialty conversions? Everything I have found is either Arizona, Montana, or California. There has got to be someone in Texas that offer these things. Such as...

Supercharger Install or
Hemi swap or
2wd to 4wd conversion or
Ghost paint

just to name a few. Drop a name if you know of a place or places. TIA

Like redneck said the 2wd to 4wd conversion is not that bad.

Buy a mopar front D44, they are complete with locker, 4.10 gears, knuckles, brakes, everything for $1400. This is a direct bolt on for a 2WD. Then buy like an atlas transfer case. I haven't priced them in a while, but I think they start around $2300 and go up from there. The output on the Transmisission will have to be swapped out for a 4WD new Drive shafts and you are pretty much set.

Actually I will take a look at it more tomorrow... err today when we switch your tops.
