Tanner 4-Wheel Drive — Colorado’s Oldest 4×4 Shop
Fifty-plus years in the business and Tanner 4-Wheel Drive is still turning wrenches and running wire in Colorado Springs. They do custom tube chassis, bumpers, skid plates, roll cages, 4-link suspensions, roof racks, re-gears, and lift kits — all under one roof. This is not a slick showroom. It’s a working shop with the kind of institutional knowledge that only comes from building rigs since 1974. If you’re building out a rig for the San Juan high routes, the Pikes Peak corridor, or a Baja run, these are the guys who’ve seen every failure mode and know what actually holds up.
Located on a straightforward commercial block in Colorado Springs at 3605 E. Platte Avenue. Shop hours run Monday through Friday 8am–5:30pm, Saturday 8am–1:30pm. Call ahead for complex fabrication or custom build consults — (719) 475-8057. Verify hours before driving in, as a shop this small adjusts by season and workload.
50+ years of Colorado 4x4 fabrication knowledge.
