4x4 shop in Orem, mid-90's...??

[Greg]

@Bart and I were talking about shops from long ago, there was a shop that I think was on Center Street in Orem, just West of I15. It was in a strip-mall, North side of the road. The shop was mostly bolt-on chrome and a LOT of Rancho stuff. IIRC, the owner had a white 90's fullsize Bronco.

Anyone remember the name of that place?

Ultimate High 4x4?

No, those guys were on State Street and... 400 South? They're still around, actually... but not sure about the location.

Mepco? They had a Rancho RS9000 shock mounted to a drum with a handle on it you could test out the different settings on the shock?

No, they were in SLC... never in Utah Valley that I remember.

I remember that Rancho 9000 shock tester!

That's right!! I was thinking 'mountain' was in the name, but wasn't quite sure. I knew someone from RME would remember.

I wheeled up Hogs Hollow with one of the shop guys right after I bought my first Jeep CJ5. He had a Toyota FJ40 with a springover, 35's and a SBC. I remember being so impressed with that FJ40 and the V8, I ended up putting a SBC in my Jeep.

Hogs Hollow?! That brings back memories of when I had long hair and thought mud was cool.

I remember the name, but not much else.

Good call Nate, I remember your dad's white XJ was Quin's poster Jeep.

Funny this came up. Quinn is my co-worker and sold that bronco to my uncle (boss). He has now purchased a new Bronco and just got done lifting it, and getting it together.
