    It doesn’t pass through. It’s stubbed to the tunnel and plated on the back side.

    Oh neat, I'd have never guessed by looking at the photo. Looks dead straight. How much trial and error did it take for the final dash fit? Looks like a pain.

    Been enjoying the absolute shit out of this thing. I’ve been daily driving it since day 1. Pretty solid off-road time every weekend and even a 350 mile round trip that had off-road time along the way.

    Thing is dialed. When you can do a 350 mile road trip in fixed back, fixed position seats and harnesses. With absolutely zero discomfort, that’s saying something.

    Confident to say I could drive this truck to California tomorrow.

    But it does need more brakes. And that’s happening soon!

    It blows my mind how absolutely perfect this thing is. It looks like it belongs at Barrett Jackson.

    Well guys, this is finally happening. I’m finally chasing a dream. Welcome to “Sub-Zero Fabrication & Coatings”.

    I really can’t wait to get this show rolling! It’s been a dream for so long it doesn’t even feel real to be setting up.

    If you’d like to follow my IG for the shop, it’s @SubZero.fab

    Way to go man. Owning a business is the scariest, hardest and most stressful thing I've ever done, but it's also very rewarding. If you ever have questions, just let me know.

    Congratulations! My wife had a small business for a few years. The first couple of years it's easy to get discouraged, so keep on trucking through! Once you get established and get yourself out there then the money will start coming in!

    It’s the internet….. you need to be very clear what you are asking for or you may get a surprise you weren’t expecting.

    A little bit of an update here!

    My shop is officially in one piece and tomorrow will be my “first day”.

    The Tacoma is all cleaned up and ready for a full prep over the winter, along with some other detail work.

    I do have some things in the plans for the Tacoma guys. So stay tuned for more on that!

    Anyways, here’s more on the shop. Few free to follow my business IG as well. That will be firing up soon. @Subzero.Fab.

    Alright.

    So the last time out with the truck, we experienced a major steering failure. This failure resulted in the wheel locking solid and blowing a corner at near 70.

    I knew I was pushing this slide rack setup right to the edge. 37’s are a whole lot of tire.

    The decision was made to swap over to a box setup.

    I have began the early stages of placing the box so I am able to retain AC. Not an easy feat.

    Currently the plan is fast ratio (6:1) box with hydro assist and a swing set.

    I hope everyone has a happy and safe new year! I will keep updates coming.
