    Dude it was HOT today :bananadead:

    I hope the move is going smoothly for you. I'm looking forward to seeing the new setup!

    Think you'll be free for a belching beaver meet in a couple weeks? :cheers:

    Jason big thanks for exorcising the gremlins from my XR pig. You truly are a satanic mechanic and the prince of fuckin darkness.

    Thanks again,
    Bruce

    Awesome!!
    Glad I could help get her all dialed in! That carb was nasty, but never been apart, so now it has a clean bill of health and ready for you to put some boot marks on your side covers so it doesnt look like it just rolled off the showroom floor, haha!
    Was really cool working on such a perfect virgin bike like that from a time capsule!! Cleanest one I've ever seen by far!

    Well I'll definitely be hitting up Jason when it comes time for suspension install. In the meantime I decided to get some Sliders.

    @Speed Freek I know you originally mentioned fab work, does that include making your own sliders??

    I can but its very time consuming, mainly just do lifts and installs, electrical, and full builds!

    Ok, I can do some fab stuff, but I usually just do little stuff, like Cab chops, adding bars to racks, and gusseting. I do have a bender, notcher and welders, but just havent been doing much lately, mainly because of lack of space!

    Soon space wont be an issue, as I'm setting up my new shop and it has TONS of space!
    BUt yes shoot me a PM with whatever you need I'll see what I can do!

    Right on bro, you're highly regarded here on the forums, if you aren't buried in business already I'll definitely recommend you to my customers (I work for a local dealer group that includes a Toyota store). We're in east county so usually just send people to 4wheelparts as we have an account with them but I'd much rather send them to someone like you which will save them $, get higher quality work, and support a small business.

    Thank you!! I will dial you in for sure and save some cash as well. I really appreciate that very much! I am more than happy to take more customers!
    I'll shoot you my cell..

    Yes I do, I have the removal and install tools as well, just make sure you also get a new diff seal as well since they get ruined upon removal. SHoot me a PM and I can knock it out while you wait even !

    I'll get to it, almost to the point to where I can start working full time again! Just scrambling to get there. But things are happening FAST!

    Yes. He just installed some stuff for me last week. He's in the process of working on a new house/property so has been super busy with that.

    He does get on fairly regularly, I think he’s in the middle of a move right now. Jason’s a very busy guy but he’ll get back to you as soon as he gets the chance.
