    I've been looking for a local place to have work done as I can't weld. I kept seeing a nice green tacoma with some work done with a sticker for Crawl2Run fabrication and I decided to give them a call. Was a couple of young guys in the Portland area who do fab work and other welding, suspension upgrades etc it seemed. Gave them a call and met up with them to discuss my needs, I had a few specific ideas of what I wanted. After meeting them I felt comfortable enough to have them work on my truck. After watching them do the work and now having tested it out for a few months I can say I will definitely be having them do my work from here out that I can't do.

    I am in no way associated with them and do not know them other than from the work they did on my truck. If you are looking for a few good fab guys for a project look them up. The work they did for me was as follows:
    Boxed rear frame
    Rear shock relocate
    Custom receiver extension/drop
    Custom cross member to attach to receiver extension under bed

    I was very impressed with the welding and care they took in making sure to do it in small chunks to mitigate any warping of the rear frame as well as every piece was measured precisely and cut perfect.

    I have had fab work done by one guy in his garage and by Superior Off Road, Crawl2Run's work was better and less expensive.

    Not sure as I had them do everything all at once, I had previously done the shock re-locate but it had to be re-done after boxing the frame, not even sure what I paid for that as I had a bunch of work done then too.... Sorry.

    it only takes 4 shock tabs, a square or round tube and a U-bolt flip kit if you want to clean up the axle.

    Finally got some time to head down and have my skids installed, the Elite front bumper made it a smidge of a challenge but it works. Also had a few tabs welded on the front bumper for my lightbar. Really happy with the skids and the tabs, the work they did was fantastic.
