For those of you that are on the list, the wait time to get in will be ALOTTTTTT shorter :D:D:D And for those of you that have been will'n to wait, THANKYOU.......
It's been a dream of mine for along time to get to this point and I'd like to thank everyone from this board for helping it come true....
I'd like to give a special thanks to John and Camo for all the help......and Lance for have'n the BEST 4x site in the world....
Cool! Being out there on your own is scary, but there's nothing like being able to do something you REALLY enjoy for a living. You only live once, do it right!

BlueYJ 11-21-2001, 09:12 AM so what town is the new shop in? Good luck, I did the same thing 8 years ago, grew some balls and said fawk it Im doing this. It is a totally different business but I havent looked back since that time. One word of advise get a CPA that knows what the FAWK they are doing. Hey how about a grand opening party??? Lets check it out, plus I would love to meet some of these guys and check out some of the rigs, of course shack your hand and wish you luck.
BlueYJ :cool2:
Tin Bender 11-21-2001, 09:27 AM Ridgecrest Ca.

This should be fun to watch, as :beer: :beer: knocks you on your ass, and the most balls you've shown is the hack job on your fenders :rolleyes:
Shaker 11-21-2001, 03:44 PM I'm on the verge of doing this myself here in Va. because all the shops around here do stuff a Monkey with a socket set can do!! I hope you get up and rolling with the big boys. I love driving my trucks to local 4x4 shops and watch them look pissed-LOL. I would highly recommend a good CPA too......so if by chance you do get "audited" you can go wheeling why the CPA sweats his ass off....:D Good Luck!!!!!:D :beer: :flipoff2:

Go for it & Congrats. When I started D and C is was a garage business for years. But I finally gave in and got a shop. Now that I'm here, I'm happy that I took that leap of faith.
The sweetest thing is that after 1 year of having the shop, I'm expanding like never before...by Feb I'll be in a much bigger place.
Congrats and Cheers!
Josh 89XJ 11-21-2001, 06:07 PM Good luck man. Keep it frugal and don't forget to pay yourself just like any other employee. I've seen a few businesses go under due to excessive spending of profits instead of bankrolling it and investing. Let me know where you are located and I will probably send some business your way :D
