    Haha. I might come up with something for you. I have an art degree that I never use but I’ve reached out to several people in the past about a logo (Mostly because I can’t stand to look at anything I’ve made/built for too long before I start seeing flaws in it.). For whatever reason I never hear back so I guess I’ll have to do it myself.

    Hell yeah :fistbump:

    Between a crying newborn and cleaning the house, I wasn't sure I wanted to start creating the cut path for Casper :rofl:

    I mean it'd be easy, but too easy to lose details too and I didn't want to resort to straight lines since my kerf width is only 1.1mm

    Small update to my brass shift linkage.
    Turns out the bend in the stock linkage is necessary so the heim doesn’t bind up at the end of travel. So I made another one. This time I used the square stock and shaped it to an octagonal profile with various files and hand sanding. Then I bent the straight rod to achieve the s bend followed by drilling and tapping for the rod ends.

    Sweet Baphomet’s beard, I haven’t posted here in a while. Small update for anyone following along. Things have changed for me dramatically at the day job so my spare time has become increasingly limited and much more valuable to me. That doesn’t necessarily mean I’m not taking work anymore but I have a lot less availability and lead times have increased accordingly. For anyone that needs immediate work, there are several guys on here that can take care of you and I wouldn’t blame you for going to any of them- they’re all awesome and I often refer them to anyone that reaches out via text. If you aren’t in a hurry and can wait for me a bit, I appreciate you and feel free to reach out.

    In the meantime here’s a quick photo dump of a few projects I’ve worked on since my last update:


    Tailgate tire carrier made its way to Wyoming to @Clark2.7 He went an extra step and had the Tacoma badges laser cut into the skin of the tailgate and then had the whole thing color matched to his green first gen. I’m really digging the whole setup paired with the bed rack from @turbodb

    You_Doodle_2023-09-23T02_02_27Z.jpg

    IMG_2502.jpg


    Next here’s a big one. Custom front bumper for @ahom ‘s third gen. His stock front bumper took a hit in a snow drift up at big bear and he was in need of a replacement. He’s come to me previously for a rear bumper and sliders for his truck and we’ve talked about a front bumper build for some time. Finally got it dialed in after a few quick measurements and a couple test fits before final install. I can’t express how happy I am with the end result and how tight it fits to the lines of the truck. Exactly what we were going for.
