I would like to thank every one who has patroned our shop over the past four years. We couldn't have been this successful with out such great support. I spent yesterday afternoon working on our photo gallery. Now it is a ton easier to navigate through all the albums and some are organized by vehicle make. If you would like to see the fab work or customer pages by brand, it is much more user friendly. Sorting through hundreds of customer work made me realize how fortunate we are to have developed this massive body of work. Thank you all!

Last weekend, Matt and I went to the coast and made his Tacoma soar! The DMZ and Total Chaos suspension combo worked flawlessly. It took one foot and two foot whoops all day long. We went sideways off the lip of a 3 foot ledge at 60 and the truck took it like a champ. Need to redo the rear bump pads and just go with the tried and true up and down orientation instead of the angled position... a miscalculation on my part. Other than that, it was a very successful shake down. Also met a few friendly Tacoma World BBS guys.

Last week we worked on a few Strand vans, seat mounts in my old F150 Prerunner, p/s steering conversion on Craig's FJ40, brakes on a Tahoe, built a prerunner on Shawn's Daihatsu Rocky, and pretty much finished the front of the 12V Burban Prerunner. This week we will finish the coilover reservoir mounts, spindle gussets, heimed steering, suspension skids and a regear on Ed's 08 FJ Cruiser... start on JB's cage, continue to wire the 12V, throw a motor in a Honda Accord, bob and the front of Jeff's K5, and make some progress on Colby's 1 ton LJ.

If you notice the posting time, it's almost midnight on Monday and all of us are still at the shop
