    Lol. Yeah it was George Bush.. security was a little ridiculous in the fact they had us going through mazes and rerouting us like cattle when it didn't seem necessary at all. We were also stuck there for about 4 hours since our flight was delayed. We got home about midnight last night. Glad to be back in AZ.

    Where's he located? East Valley Precision is looking for people, same with Align Precision, Avantest, and a few others here in the Chandler area. We just hired 2 guys ourselves but if anything changes I'll reach out.

    Will send him that lead. Thank you!

    For the moment he’s crashing at his parents around central PHX looking for a place. They just got stateside this week.

    He is waiting on household goods AND his Japanese right hand drive LandCruiser.

    If anyone needs a new RC crawler body, I've got one available Thursday morning. The upper belt line accent stripe is currently set for pearl white tomorrow morning but if you want this Jconcepts Warlord body with a personalized color on the accent stripe or window tinting let me know.

    I also have a Jconcepts StageKilla that will be ready for a first coat Thursday morning if you're into one of those. Unless someone wants it, it'll be white with black accents.

    Sitting on a VRD Carbon with the wheelbase stretched to 330 mm. Don't mind the overspray, it's pristine under the protective film. I almost forgot. $75 with clear windows, $85 with tinted windows.

    Hello all, I'm looking for recommendations for an RCI bumper, winch and lightbar install in the North/Northwest/West part of the valley. Any shops/mechanics that are experienced with Toyota's that you all would recommend? Maxx had done my suspension work in the past and did an amazing job, unfortunately he isn't doing side work anymore so the search is on. Thanks in advance! Aaron.

    MAN! I wish I did! Would love to give that guy a boost in getting back to work but I'm so far from that field all I can give him is my best wishes. Do pass those along for me. Hope he finds a kick ass job for a good company that treats him right.

    Mod day! :D

    Westcott up in Deer Valley area did install spacers (that were not theirs) for me many moons ago but I had it there for sliders anyway so I think they gave me a pass... don't know if they would do installs on RCI stuff.

    Stuff that costs more than my wife thinks.

    Westcott is good people, you'll hear plenty of recommendations for them. I'll add AZ Toy Pros (State 48 Overlanding) to the mix here in Mesa. They are authorized dealers on a lot of different brands, but I've purchased and brought in products that they didn't sell, and they helped me out no problem.

    @TACOTU3 I have a project for that 1.75" die once my bed is back on. Build a shock tower stiffener bar. Something like this. Going to need a tube notcher also.....

    Looks like a great project to break it in on! I’ve got a notcher and the geometry is simple enough for a dummy like me to figure out :D Let’s chat when you’re ready!

    I figured it would be a good starter project! Yes, I'll hit you up when I'm ready.
