    QUICK!! SOMEONE BUY THE RIGHTS TO THE SITE NAME MESOJDM CUSTOMS!!! That way you can trade it for the rare 3rd Brake Light mod

    But seriously, congrats! The change from side business to full business is a big leap. But you're a smart guy and I'm sure there are tons of smart people around you to help you make the right decisions. Plus you got your wife and kids for support. (Kids = Free Labor) TW has your back!

    Congrats man. That takes a lot of courage. Of course we wish you all the best and will be thirsting/lurking for your new mods. Wish you and your family well during the transition and all the boring legal stuff and paperwork required. It’s one thing to start a business when it’s just you, it’s a whole different animal when you had a good job and have a wife and kids. Hope you fulfill the American dream of the pursuit of happiness!
    :oldglory:

    Also, let me know when you’re hiring

    Kings, 275/70/17, a few custom items, lots of Meso mods.
    Going into unknown territory is always a little scary. You have been selling on the side with great results and the demand is there. Once you get things set up and rolling you will do fine. We are all rooting for you and waiting for the grand opening. Better stock up tho...:D Good luck buddy :hattip:

    True story. The only time you wake up from the nightmare is when you have your routine down and key assets in place to complete an item, nailed down. Even then in the back of your mind you’re terrorized with crap did this get done so the other thing doesn’t fail.

    It’s kinda like having kids for the first time you have night terrors of oh crap is he breathing? Then after you have your second kid it’s like he’s ok I’ll deal with the problem when it’s a problem

    Stew,
    I assume your business is gonna be selling your creations/mods on a larger scale. Can you give us an idea about your plan? Like are you gonna go big and sell stuff for Jeeps, Tundras, 4Runners, Fords, Chevys, etc... Or just sticking with Tacoma’s?
    I’d love to see mass production of all your mods, like the ultimate mirrors, tail lights, headlights, roof racks, bed racks, etc..
    Just curious to see if you are going to share your plans. I don’t think anyone can compete with your quality and ability to to make the things that people desire. Plus your OCD for perfection definitely helps.

    Again, good luck,
    Kreg

    Kreg,
    Thank you for the kind words. Helps my validation that I’m making the right
    Choice. My plans are to continue developing mods for Tacoma’s and eventually expand into the “big 3” I.e Tacoma, Tundra, T4R. At that point I’ll reevaluate and look into the Jeep and Ford(raptor) market which is another big crowd. Chevy/dodge/etc are lower on my to-do list. All while maintaining my FORM AND FUNCTION mentality of parts.

    Don’t worry, once you’re up and running, there will be a lot of happy buyers. I can see your business growing faster than you can keep up. There will be Toyota dealers knocking on your door to customize their inventory, 4 wheel shops wanting your products to sell, and just by word of mouth from this TW community, it’s gonna be successful. You can TRUST and BELIEVE these guys are going to spend their money on your products. I know it’s very hard to quit a good job and not worry, but I have a very good feeling about your future.
