YOU WANT WHAT? WHEN?

Have you ever walked in to a garage to get your vehicle fixed, told them the problem, and they looked at you like you had 3 heads??Well, let tell you that will not happen here at Performance. We take the time to listen to our customers and find out what is happening, diagnose the problem, and then give you all the information you need to make an informed decision regarding your vehicle. Here at Performancewe treat all our customers like they are family, because it matters to us.

Chevy Suburban



We finished mounting the Pro Comp wheels and the 33" tires. Now we turned this soccer mom into a "give me your lunch money"mom
 (or unidentified person because I'm scared to tell).

The Comanche



The Indian has got more war paint added to it! The chief will rise again.....

Silver TJ





We have made a simple modification to this TJ by adding a Warn M8000 winch to the front of this "trail ready" jeep.One addition that gives a whole bunch of trail confidence to the owner, and his buddies.


TJ to come





Here we have waiting ahead of the customer, a set of 4 Pro Comp Rock Crawler flat black wheels ready to be mounted to a setof 33 x 12.5 x 15 BFG KM2's. A very nice addition to any Jeep, or SUV! Come see what we can do for you!


97 White TJ



We got this TJ in after a customer experienced the ungodly "Death Wobble". If you have never heard of this, it's when you happen to hit a bump andthe whole jeep shakes like Elvis at a 24 hour buffet. After talking with the owner, we found a few of the common TJ problems. The track bar was loose from the mount, which you can see from moving the steering wheel back and forth. We also found the lower control arm bushings are worn out, along with a large rust problem in the frame where the rear upper control arms connect with.



 Time for the Doctor to work his magic. The rust repair will be a big job in itself, then we will go over the entire suspension and steering system to firm-up all the weak points. To top off the cake, we are replacing the shocks with Rancho RS9000 adjustable units, along with a new steering stabilizer. 


The Monster



Let us start at the front end with this one. We have added an axle truss, along with adding some protection for the steering ram.



Next we have a Ballistic Flex Joint that we use throughout the suspension. You might be familiar with these as a "Johnny Joint" made by Currie. We have found some advantages in the Ballistic joint. The primary advantage of these is the capability to adjust the pre-load of the bushings and in ease of rebuild.





Next we have the mount for the front upper control arm, tack welded to the frame. The control arms are ready for battle.



We have finished cutting out the axle truss for the rear, and it's ready to be welded up.



Finally we have closed the gap on the Transfer Case mount. If you take a close look you will see 2 grease able poly bushings, followed by 2 more on the opposite side. We have found that the typical transfer case mount is attached to the factory skid. This makes it a real pain to service. We fabricated this mount to allow the skid to be mounted separately from the TC. So, the 4 bushings will allow the chassis to flex, instead of snapping parts and breaking wallets. Forward thinking is what we strive for here. Come visit and see what we are all about, if you haven't yet!
