    Hey guys, Im back!!
    Just finishing the move of my shop over now, the house stuff is all moved.

    Sorry for the delay on getting on TW, I had no internet service at the new place until last night, and I was pulling 16+ hour days every single day.
    Not to mention I got Poison Oak so bad it became systemic and had to go get an IV for it on Sunday. But feeling better now, was at the point to where my body was going into the early stages of shock...nasty stuff.

    Replying to PMs now, thanks for your patience!

    Its sooooo much better, I dont feel like Im working in an alley anymore! Or I will be once I start working :(. Spending money like crazy and not making a single penny is a bit stressful, lol. But it is what it is!
    Hope to see ya soon!

    Thanks, its simply by default, Im like a robot. But my batteries finally wore down yesterday, had massive fatigue to the point I have never felt before and I race off road motorcycles for up to 5 hours at a time! I think it was due to the massive Steroid dose on Sunday, and the Prednisone tablets I was on before, pretty sure thats what happens when the steroids wear off. Im a better today so thats good news! Not totally fatigued, just kinda tired.
    Yeah you need to come out and check it! Its super awesome, so stoked Im still soaking it in.

    Thanks Dirk! We went with AT&T bundle thingy, but the upload/download speeds are horrible!
    Cox says they dont service this area, but I saw the truck across the street the other day and the telephone poles literally run through MY property, pretty sure if I talk to the right people I can get them to run some lines over here. Cox is was faster, think Im gonna need it, but Ill try the ATT for a week or so and see if its reasonable, havent tried any heavy data movement yet to see how it goes.

    Yeah. I had AT&T and their internet speeds suck! You will be better off with cable if you can get it.

    Jason doesn’t typically fabricate his own product. He’s mostly all about installing lifts, doing repairs, etc. I am responding here because I know he is in the middle of moving his shop from the prior location into a new, more permanent location and he doesn’t have much time to get on TW right now.

    Highly recommend Jason, he is a great guy and a meticulous perfectionist when it comes to working on your truck. I drove an hour and a half to have him work on my truck because of his reputation, he did not disappoint. I have the honor of being the first truck he worked on at his new place. His lovely wife even made sandwiches for lunch. If you live in SoCal and you need something done to your truck, this is the guy to see.

    Well I dont have a balancer yet, but I can do the chop. Like JaCado mentioned I’m in North County San Diego (Vista, 92083) so if you wanna road trip I’d be happy to take care of you!

    Thank you!

    ‘‘Tis a tad of a haul, but if you wanna drive...haha
