Custom driveshafts,
built to spec.
AAE Customs is a driveline and off-road specialty shop. Custom driveshafts for any vehicle or boat — and Jeep repair and customization done with the care of a builder, not a parts counter.
What we do
Three specialties. Done properly.Built in-house.
Not ordered in.
Driveshafts are fabricated and balanced in our own shop in Bacliff, Texas — which means repairs and custom builds get a driveline matched to the vehicle, not a forced-fit catalog part.
A shop that stands behind the work.
No service-writer runaround, no upsell scripts. You deal directly with the shop that does the work.
One shop.
One point of contact.
Working since 2006, now focused on driveline and off-road work. Owner Lane Mills runs the shop directly — serving Bacliff and the greater Houston–Galveston area.

From All-American Enterprises to AAE Customs
The shop opened in 2006 as All-American Enterprises, taking on general automotive and fabrication work in Bacliff, Texas. Over the years, one thing kept coming through the door more than anything else: driveline work — and the off-road rigs attached to it.
Today the shop is known as AAE Customs, focused on what it does best: custom-built driveshafts for any vehicle or boat, and Jeep & off-road repair and customization. Owner Lane Mills runs the shop directly — when you call, you're talking to the person responsible for your build.
Custom Built Driveshafts
Built to your vehicle's exact spec — street trucks, off-road rigs, work vehicles, and boats. If it turns a shaft, we can build for it.
Any vehicle. Boats too.
A driveshaft isn't a shelf part — length, joint style, tube diameter, and balance all have to match the way the vehicle is actually built and used. We build custom shafts to fit, whether it's a daily driver, a lifted trail rig, or a boat.
We also handle existing shafts: modifications, component replacement, and rebalancing. Bring it in or call to talk through what you need.
Jeep & Off-Road Repair
Repair work for Jeeps and off-road rigs, from a shop that actually builds them. Driveline problems are our home turf.
Fixed by people who build them.
Off-road vehicles break in ways street cars don't, and modified rigs need a shop that understands what's been changed and why. We diagnose and repair with the whole build in mind — including the vibrations, clunks, and driveline issues other shops send away.
Not sure if it's something we handle? Call and describe it. If it's not our kind of work, we'll say so.
Off-Road Customization
Custom off-road work, with a specialty in Jeeps. Built around how you actually use the vehicle — not a catalog package.
Built around the way you drive it.
Every build starts with a conversation: what the Jeep needs to do, where it's going, and what's already been done to it. From there we scope the work and build it properly — with the driveline expertise to make sure the whole package works together.
Because we build driveshafts in-house, modified rigs get drivelines matched to the build — not forced-fit parts.
