    Hello my TW family! Well I'm several years into my time here and because of this site I've made friends, built relationships, developed professional contacts in the automotive industry, and cultivated a business out of it all! Not to mention built a pretty sweet truck all with smoking deals and endless help from our existing vendors.

    I started Overland Alaska first because I love Toyota family, and second because I love doing the R&D, and finding new people and new products that will benefit all of us. I'm a guy that loves to ask questions, if there's a product I need and no one makes it, I'm not opposed to petitioning someone to.

    I'll tell you up front, the best part of my business is going to be the customer service. My prices are competitive, and some can even be discussed privately. My goal is to provide you with products I personally use and can attest to. Those are the only lines I carry. If I can't stand behind it enough to put it on my truck, I'm not going to try and tell you to put it on yours.

    I believe in integrity in business, and will do whatever I can to meet your needs.
    Always.

    Stay tuned as I'm going to spend this weekend uploading the product lines I carry on here in this new fancy sub-forum Bob was kind enough to give me. Also, be sure to watch for our website www.overlandak.com in the future.

    Cheers,
    Ben

    I'm glad that vendors on here are all pretty honest and fair with members. There is not to much of that around unfortunately.

    G/L with the business!

    Thanks man, it's the nature of TW that breeds that in vendors I think. I started this business because I saw no reason to pay full retail for stuff, and there's markets out there that i like to explore and try and find new innovative products for us. I'm a toyota man for life, and will always have my taco, so finding something new for myself, means finding something new for all of us to benefit from. I'm currently talking with maxtrax, they want me to cold weather test some new gear for them. Could be a great opportunity for a new product line! Which in turn means, more cool stuff for us!

    Sounds like a plan if he does custom work on skids (cutouts, reinforcement), when I'm ready to buy you'll be my vendor of choice.

    If you don't draw blood, you're doing it wrong!
    Looks nice and clean! I like the stylized N to signify a pseudo-compass and pointing North to AK. Good marketing design right there :thumbsup:

    Have you tried Black text with an Orange "N/Arrow"? I think that might make it "pop" just a little more. Either way, I think it looks badass!
