So I did a thing... As we have all noticed, prices are going up, and sadly, quality has been going down... In the past 2 years I've noticed either the air filters are bigger than advertised, or the air filter base plates and top are undersize... I'm not here to hate on the companies that make and sell these parts, I'm just here to try and make things better and more acceptable.

Even when Rick Delreal tries to burn his Baja down and doesn't succeed... I still try to get him back in the trails as soon as possible. Having a few conversations with much smarter people than me, general consensus is, the Baja was parked a bit sideways, and fuel overflowed filling up a cylinder or two, burn marks tell me both cylinders, and once enough fuel spit out the exhaust and a little bit of air got in the cylinders, kapoof!!!

Summer is almost over, been busy with lots of preventative maintenance and maybe some future leisure activities. Huge thanks to Arbor View Tree Care Services gave me one heck of a deal on cutting 2 big ol basswood trees down. Every time it rained or the wind blew branches would fall and they were getting bigger and bigger. If you need any tree maintenance in or around Genesee county, give them a call, I highly recommend them. Thanks John Babcock for letting me use your trailer and log splitter. Thanks to Rick Delreal and Denise Levesque for the pool, we look forward to some Summer time fun on those hot days next year. Big thanks to Schwerin Excavating for the pool base, sump pump drain, moving all my junk to the back yard, moving brush, and soon to come a French drain for the garage.

Thanks to everyone repping my merch at various buggy shows, thanks to all my customers for being patient with all the stuff I have going on right now.

But the biggest thanks and appreciation goes to my wife Amanda Granger she has done most of the work that most people don't see, she makes sure our son is growing up healthy, makes sure we never go to bed with empty stomachs, always have clean clothes on our backs and always makes sure we come home to a clean house with food in the cupboards. She is also responsible for most of the yard cleanup and log splitting from when we got the trees cut down. If it wasn't for her I definitely wouldn't be as happy or healthy without her. So thank you sweetie for being you!! I love and appreciate everything you do for us.

This is the current project. Believe it or not, this is the same customer that owns the last project "too long". A few goodies are waiting to be installed, like... Wilwood Master cylinders, Bilstein shocks, LED driving lights, HID Brite lights, SC performance starter adapter and starter, Sachs throw out bearing, K&N air filter. Huge thanks to Stephanie N Herman Barnum, Campbell's Machine, LLC Dan Willhite Summit Racing Equipment Frank Belcher

Things have been super busy around the homestead that hasn't allowed too much time in the shop. I can't say for sure that will change with the cooler weather coming in, but I do think the summer house projects might come to an end for the season.

Thank you everyone for being patient with my busy lifestyle and still supporting what I'm doing.

You just never know what them Backyard Buggies guys are going to bring you... Cracked rim, looks like someone else tried to weld and epoxy it... They sent this rim to the right guy.

This was a quick little job, had to clean, clean, then clean it some more... Tried using fast fab pushrod tubes, they leaked so bad, swapped em out for some JayCee leak proof ones, they lasted through the weekend, so hopefully they continue to do what they are as advertised to do. Also added an electric fuel pump to feed this monster, fixed a few other oil leaks. I did not mess with the jetting, which I could probably step up some jets, we will see.
