Brute Force Fab

 

Do it!

 

Some people are at 20+ weeks waiting on Mobtown.

 

Exactly. 12-14 weeks didn’t seem bad to me. That’s the price you pay for a quality small shop.

 

Not really, that means they need to get their shit together and hire more welders.

4-6 weeks, understandable
8+ weeks, unacceptable

It seems no one is in the business to make money...more product going out = more revenue

 

True.

 

Still crazy, when you can get local at much lower wait times.

 

I was sorta rushing @EddyRRT to get my stuff done, but I haven't found time in 2 weeks to go and and pick them up

Was going to leave work early and head down, but of course shit hits the fan and I'll be here all damn day.

 

Don’t get me wrong. I have @EddyRRT ‘s rear high clearance bumper and love it! Great craftsmanship and a great price. I just like the look of Brute Force Fab’s front better for my truck. I don’t run fender flares, and the BFF hybrid fits the more narrow profile beautifully without modification. Plus they also have great reviews.

 

That depends. **Custom** big companies have one design. Cut and paste. Alot of us customize for customers. Like a dual swing out rear can take up to 16 hrs to build.

And for hiring more welder's. This isn't a industrial type of job where you can just throw welder's at it. And it will never be seen and judged. Then 300k people see it once a thread is made. I've had my guy Nick since September and he is no where near ready to fit and build stuff on his own.

Now when it come to producing products faster. We are all almost garage started companies. Built from nothing. For one, me never any funding or outsourcing. Press break I just got was 20k and the laser table is 120k that I want. That's alot of money to rise up.

It takes time to build and grow to get to the level of companies like fabfours or ADD.

If I would started with a 500k loan for tools. I'd been out of business.

 

How much should I expect to pay to have 5100’s and a set of AALs installed? Thought I had an old friend who used to be a mechanic lined up to help me, but that fell through.

 

Just bought my '19 TRD OR earlier this month and was hoping someone could recommend some trails near by. I haven't had a chance to add anything yet (like rock sliders or skid plates) so nothing crazy. Just looking for somewhere to start to get a feel for off-roading and get some dirt on the truck.

 

Uwharrie National Forest (URE) is the best / closest we have. Link to thread in my signature. Seasonally closed till spring tho. Welcome

 

Old N.C. 105 is a nice little dirt road with some great views of Linville Gorge to go along with it.

 

There are some forest roads off 181 by Brown Mtn near 105. Always can grab a beach pass. Weather like this you can grab a few rays using your truck as a wind lock..

 

Nice and welcome!

 

Well it’s official..
