    I am a one man show that works 80-90 hrs a week for months and have been working 7 days a week for years. Just because I'm a one man show. Does not mean I do any less then a company of 4+ plus. It's been proven from friends that are friends with other fabricators. That I spit out just as much as they do Being one man. Simply put I do work and not scared of it.

    Other people hire workers to do the work for them. Because in their mind. thats what being a business owner is. Having ppl do it for them. Which turns into over head. And when business owners feel a taste of success. It goes straight to their head. And they forget what got them to where they are. And when that happend they quit working as hard and as long. Like today. I came in a fit (10) sets of sliders for my new welder that started a week ago. And I've waited to hireing a full time welder till I found someone that welded just like me.

    And I only hired him to help with my end goal. No lead time and kill it. He drove by my shop last night after eating dinner and texted me. Go home Eddy. You hired me so you don't have to work so hard. But I can't stop working. Pulled 14 he's yesterday and 8 today

    So just a example of the output. today's the 9th.
    We've done 14 sets of sliders, 6 skid plates, 6 bestop bedracks, 4 streamlines plus the 10 I fit up today .


    Oh forgot the 3 rear bumpers waiting on swing outs.
    Damn forgot the 4 sets of bedvars
    :thumbsup:

    I'd like to thank the academy for this award... I have several individuals I need thank for making this thing work. @JimboAnz for intercepting the shipment in Charlotte and of course @ovrlndkull for delivering to Durham this morning. Many thanks to @BamaTaco56 for selling it and I can't forget @EddyRRT for fabricating it in the first place #sosconceptscrew and lastly @Sandman614 for assisting with the installation....couldn't have done it without you. Also want to say that Amazon Prime ain't got nothing on #TWExpress!!!! I'm sure there are others that i'm missing but you know who you are.

    Srsly though .. thanks folks really neat that you guys took care of me, in getting this bumper to Raleigh.

    I wasn’t trying to slight you in the least bit, sorry if that’s the way you took what i said above.

    you aren’t the first guy to have the mindset that you have currently. many others have started out that same way, some made it, some still are, many went the way of Pelfry and other long lost names.

    Remember, you’re only young once, being the work animal now will have many rewards, but if you aren’t careful, it can have as many drawbacks that you won’t be able to recover from. ( you are only as good as your health, when that’s gone it’s hard to recover ..... i speak from experience )

    you are ONE in a long line of fabrication shops that have come and gone over the last 25years of the internet

    the history is there, some made it and are still making it, some were taken over by other brands, some were put out by cut throat business practices by other shops. (Read everything you can find about other fab shops online, it’s not all sunshine and butterflies, some of the popular names were pretty unscrupulious, and some were targets by other vendors)

    then there are the customers.....

    one thing i hope is the Off-road market is not your only market, i tried to steer some business your way several months ago, unfortunately that project didn’t go anywhere in multiple avenues.
