Why
Customize?
Customizing
parts often take a lot of time, effort and planning - and often
involves a lot of frustration as well when the parts you spend days
working on don't work as you had hoped. So with all this in mind,
why bother with customization?
I'd just like
to propose a few reasons that I hope will convince you to at least
give it a shot.

Aftermarket
parts don't always fit the bill. Sometimes, the parts offered
by aftermarket companies just does not deliver the performance
you want. At other times, the part you have in mind doesn't
even exist in any parts catalog! |

It's FUN!
Making your own parts can be awfully fun! You get to see your
own project from conception to completion and there is no word
to describe how good it feels when it turns out just right…
or better than expected! Of course there are often projects
that 'bomb' or don't turn out well, but each attempt is an exciting
learning experience. |

Creating
your very own truck. It's no doubt that a major part of this
hobby is having the coolest truck on the block - and there is
no better way to draw some attention by having a truck that
nobody else has. By customizing parts, you get to build a machine
that is not only suited to your needs, but you get a monster
that you can call your very own. |

It's cheaper!
Come on… it's okay to admit it - sometimes we customize
parts simply because purchasing aftermarket ones are too expensive
to buy. In addition to all the other reasons listed, making
your own parts can save money in the long run. I say 'in the
long run' because there is an initial investment in buying good
and reliable tools but for all the knowledge, experience and
fun they provide, I'd say it's definitely worth it! |
For whatever
reasons you may choose to customize your own parts, it is my hope
that the information contained in this section will help make your
truck a better rig. If there is any particular information about
customizing parts you are interested in and can't find here, you
can contact me and I'll try
my best to help.
