    For the most part of 25+'years of driving I have broken a lot, and fixed even more. As a rule, even when I ran log trucks I fixed everything except for my 7 days of family vacation a year. I was a workaholic and had others bring me theirs also. I have an enormous amount of respect from a multi year/ many page thread. Free bump and nice to hear about honest, hard working people.

    I got you covered, I can dial you in with a custom cab chop for tires that large (deeper than a standard one) but its no problem, I can make any size plates I need to, and I will likely have to cut the pinch weld in the wheel well too. I've done quite a few of them so it isnt a huge deal.
    And I can change your Coilover settings as well.
    When you get a second shoot me a PM with your info and I can get you scheduled in so you can turn your steering wheel without that dreaded tire scrape, haha.
    Thanks!

    A tale of a 1.5 day install party:

    Jason's magic struck yet again. What went down? A BAMF shock relocation kit which in and of itself just about takes a full day and believe me his finished product on that makes the mount kit look factory, fresh off the production line. A true welder.

    What else? ECGS clamshell bushing install, Icon UCA's, 12" King RR rears, King coilovers, Dakar leafs, steel braided brake lines, ubolt flip kit, Timbren bumps, carrier bearing drop kit. He certainly gets things done, done right, and at a very reasonable price. It was worth the hotel stay in Escondido and Uber trips to and from his house while my rig was safely out of commission at his pad for the 1.5 days he worked his magic. Thanks, Jason.

    Thanks Oskar for coming out, hope it all clears well now with the CMC and pinch weld mod, and now you have both your rear brake lines instead of one, not sure what that shop was thinking, lol. They really boogered up that stock flare side and rounded off the head of the flare nut! Glad I was able to get it installed, I cant let you go down the road with only one braided rear line, haha.

    Was nice meeting you and let me know when you are ready for part 2!

    Was nice meeting you buddy, hope the ride is much better and the tires fully clear. Let me know if you ever need anything in the future and I'll handle it for you.
    Thanks for choosing me, I appreciate it

    And on Friday I had to work on a Yamaha Rhino, the rear diff ripped off, had to re fabricate all new mounts and boxed in the frame where the control arms mount and sleeve all the crossbars so the mounts dont rip again. I get quite the diversity in my work, I can fix just about anything, not huge into European cars though...mechanical is fine but diagnosing odd issues can be daunting!

    Tomorrow I have a Chevy fullsize truck for all 4 front balljoints, uppers and lowers.
