He also has another shop on his property that he leases out to someone to do more of the day-to-day type of repairs. Very nice shop overall.

I love his white 500HP truck that he's been working on. Very nice looking truck. I've been thinking about ordering the same set of black headlights that he has on his truck.

Yes, i rode in that white truck. It definitely hauls the mail! It's no joke out on the dunes either!

I've seen him put a lot of his built 4r100's in the 6.0, now that's good stuff.

Ok, so i will give a little. I think the ultimate would be to buy a BTS, take it to JW and have him add a few of his custom parts, now there's a nice unit!

Those 3m shafts are pricey. I ran them on a sand car (for axles) which was a 2.3 ford esslinger motor, turbo injected on alcohol. 800+HP on drag paddles. Yes, they broke...and guess what, the regular axles, similar to a stock porche, held up better.

This debate is much like the mendeola vs build volkswagen bus trans. Sure everyone wants the mendeola, and says they're unbreakable. But damn if i see a ton of them in the shop busted. As for a built VW box, not so much. Wait, am i on glamisdunes.com?
