i was just wondering if there was any good 4wd shops in springfield or the surrounding area? there has to be something better than this shiatty one that's here in joplin, that's not even open on saturdays? i pulled up their web site today to see what all they carry and they don't list ne thing but used tires! and the fact that they have a couple of pro comp stuff. and they call themselves a 4wd shop! gee

 

LOL I feel your pain bro... The one on 7th (when they're open) has a few more things than are listed on the web site.. but the guy who runs it sorta rubs me the wrong way...

I dropped in there the day after I baught my jeep, and bought some light mounts, and hood latches.. Told him that I was looking for some OEM bumpers that I could mod.... He showed me the catalog for aftermarket bumpers, and told me that the OEMs are hard to come by, cuz not many people own JKs yet...

After I got my ARB bumper installed (not purchased from him) I dropped in to see what he had for winches, and he told me that his attic was full of OEM bumpers that he couldn't get rid of.

There's another in town... but he carrys even less in stock.. I baught some Sahara wheels, and tires from him at a very fair price, and he said he can get 'good deals' on most anything. He has a great garage, and can install... He's located near north shiffendecker... just before snowball on Belle Center road.. I don't think he has a GREAT shop or anything.. but he seems like a more down to earth guy.

I don't know about springfield.. havn't heard anything. But Tulsa has some great 4x4 shops as I understand it.. the Fayettville area is bound to as well..

Hope this helps!

 

I think that 4ws.com is over on Chestnut Expressway in Springfield.

*edit - I found their address:

Missouri 4Wheelers Supply, LLC
2335 E Chestnut Expressway
Building A, Suite 116
Springfield, MO 65802

 

I have seen some of the JK's they have built, they are sick. They are really nice. They are also really nice people to deal with. Ask wiredawg_mg, they helped him with his broken trac bar at SMORR. Maybe he can tell you more about them.

 

thanks guys for all the helpful info. as far as the guy that is on 7th street, i've been there 1 time and i didn't even make it out of the parking lot. i was bopping around one day on my way home and thought that i would swing in there and see what all he's got. wheni pull into the parking lot there was a sign that said would be back in 15 mins (3:30). it was 3:15 when i pulled in so i just missed him, no biggie, and i had nothing to do anyways. 4:00 rolls around and he pulls in the parking lot in this huge dodge ram and he gets out. doesn't say anything to me, not a hi hows it going, anything. walks up to the door and opens it up. now, i'm the only thing in the parking lot besides his truck and he doesn't even acknowledge a potential customer or even ask can i help you? that rubbed me the wrong way and will never do business there. just shows me that he's not too worried about selling anything that he's got in there.

might have to take a trip up to springfield and check out that shop. as it's getting closer to moab and crunch time, if i don't get the things i want ordered soon i will have to buy locally. no problem there as long as they're not DICKS!

 

you guys wheel at smoor? i just got me jeep a few months ago and just got a lift and tires and was want ing to play a little but nothing to hardcore cant really afford to break anything, still owe allot on it.. lol but is there easyer trails there or just really tuff ones?
