Your Trucks/Suvs Needed for R&D

I am a start up company based out of Denton, TX. I design & manufacture parts related to off road and overlanding for Toyotas. I currently own a GEN 3 double cab Tacoma so I have that base covered. I am looking for people with other models and generations of Toyota vehicles. I need to have access to vehicle to take measurements for new designs and also for fit-up of prototype parts once complete. The owners interested will be compensated with discounted or possibly free merchandise or parts, depending on the part. Most of the parts I will be designing and building will be made of steel. (examples: MOLLE racks for interior and bed, cargo anchor points for bed, bed stiffeners, roof racks, overland racks, skid plates, bumpers.) Anyone interested, please reply to this thread or PM me. Thanks.

 

Unfortunately I’m in SA or I’d be in. I wish you all the luck in your endeavor as your entering a market that is already pretty saturated with manufacturers of these type items. Make sure to set yourself apart from the others. Good luck.

 

getting new designs is the hard part. the other is simple, quality part and good price. once people find out the parts are good then having lower price than competition is no brainer. thanks.

 

Don’t sell yourself short though. I’m a business owner myself. People will pay for high quality parts and excellent customer service. Find the the sweet spot. Imo the biggest issue right know is manufacturers like yourself not being able to supply the parts ordered in a timely manner, turn around time is key. If you can nail that down you’ll be way ahead of many of the others.

 

I’m in Burleson. Shoot me a DM.

Good luck! I’d have a 5th and 4th gen 4runner for you if I wasn’t in Austin! I can also attest that quality and customer service rank heaviest for me. Cheers!

 

Interested in what kind of bed racks you might be making, would love to find an over the softopper rack, that anchors in the bed/versus attached to the bed rails. But also need strength to mount an RTT and handle my fat ass sleeping in it.
