Founded by trusted local fabricator and lifelong truck enthusiast Jamey Whitlock, THOR Off-Road has become one of Texas’ premier destinations for high-performance off-road customization. Purpose-built dream vehicles are crafted with precision, passion, and a whole lot of horsepower.
“THOR originally stood for Texas Hunting and Off-Road,” says Whitlock. “I started by building hunting trucks. It was a perfect fit because I’ve always had a passion for building vehicles that serve a real purpose.”
That passion began early. “My first truck was when I was 12 years old,” he laughs. “I was always modifying, lifting, and always had the coolest truck in my peer group. So this was an easy transition to making everyday trucks super capable.”
The evolution from hunting rigs to high-end off-road machines took shape when Whitlock connected with Carli Suspension, a renowned California-based suspension company. From there, his vision grew.
Now, THOR Off-Road is known for creating vehicles that are as capable as they are cool. But it’s not just about flashy modifications. It’s about building trucks with purpose.
“Everyone has a different journey,” Whitlock says. “Some need a truck to haul their family in comfort. Others want a trail beast. We help them figure out what’s really important, then build something that fits their lifestyle.”
One standout build was a 2024 RAM 3500, originally equipped with factory rear air leveling—infamous for its rough ride. THOR transformed it into a long-haul towing machine with smooth ride quality, advanced lighting for all conditions, a custom stainless steel shell and drawer system, a 55-gallon fuel tank, and 37-inch tires that let it dominate any terrain. It’s not just a truck—it’s a road warrior’s dream. “It is a commanding, menacing-looking truck with all the bells and whistles everywhere it counts,” Whitlock says.
While THOR Off-Road’s specialty is heavy-duty truck suspension, the shop is a full-service, turnkey custom builder. Whitlock is proud to be the only stocking Carli Suspension dealer in Texas and keeps premium inventory from Icon Dynamics, Cognito, and BDS Suspension—brands not typically found in generic truck accessory shops.
“The quality of the products we offer and our expert installation set us apart,” he says. “When you modify your vehicle, you want to know you actually made an upgrade. That’s the confidence we provide.”
While many of Whitlock’s clients come from across the country, Dripping Springs remains the heart of the business.
“I’ve lived here 19 years, and I’m a fifth-generation Drip guy,” he says. “I love this community.”
Whitlock’s goal is simple: “I want people to walk away from working with me knowing they got the best I had to give—and be completely happy with their experience.”
