    Yet another CMC by Sergio and recommendation. Legit guy.

    His work is clean and fast. Took his time explaining exactly what he'd be doing and why. I was in and out way before his estimated time. It was better than him being less than 2 miles away from me.

    I appreciate it, Sergio!

    I don't even need this done yet but still want it just because of how clean his work is.

    I have a buddy in the same situation. Doesn't need it, but will be doing it soon with Sergio in preparation for big tires.

    You got it bud! Thanks for the kind words. My time estimates vary depending on job but the biggest determining factor is how “involved” the customer is. Basically: the more we BS during the job, the longer it takes. Haha. I’m never opposed to good conversation so it doesn’t bother me but if left alone to work I can zip through things pretty fast.

    Pretty sure Sergio did my cab mount like a month after I bought the truck even though I didn't lift it or put new tires on for a year.

    There's tons of BLM land around the Joshua tree area, to my knowledge you can pretty much camp anywhere out there (on BLM land).

    Does the gap of the bumper get bigger at the front of the fender? I took a lot of time to line that up and torque down the mounting hardware. If it moved let me know- I can have you come back to get it aligned again.

    Nope it’s just the angle of the picture. It’s dead on straight on both sides. I actually checked it too after looking at the pic but yeah it’s a cleannnnnn install.

    Stax. Making some mounting tabs for a build. It’s little things like this that let me Zen out in the garage. Just put my ear protection on and my earbuds pumping Buddy Guy and I can make a hundred of these things without even knowing.

    it also tells me that if I had lasers or a plasma cutter, jobs like this would go by a lot faster.

    If you squint really hard, you can see two sets of sliders, a bedrack, and a tire carrier in there.

    I don’t actually. I’ve built a couple of these and hoping that some of my customers post pictures. If anything that’s my downfall: I don’t document my builds and don’t have any pictures saved for anything I’ve built previously. If the TW server goes down, it all gets lost with it.
