wow. Sounds great. I know when I get an appointment at Torfab they are always 3-4 months out and they are 2+ year waiting list for engine swaps. I trust them completely and they do great work and really know the landcruiser. I assume the proposed shop would as well?TRAIL TAILOR CUSTOMS
I have been contacted by a company that wants to buy TT CUSTOMS and move it to Seattle. I will have to postpone retirement for an additional year with this contract, but will be well worth my time, money and agreed time off for that year to proceed.
This will be primarily a Land Cruiser and Nissan Patrol based custom build and maintenance shop with a secondary emphasis as a maintenance and upgrade shop for all Toyota and Nissan 4x4s.
12 lift bays , 10 build/assemby stations, with a full paint and body shop and retail frontage. Pulling in Toyota and Nissan techs from around the US to staff. Approx. 23000 sq ft facility.
I was told I could post the tentative plans so I could get some forum feedback over the 5 forums I belong to. The partner company is well into the research of this need in the Seattle/PNW area and the demographic study with the imports coming into the area.
If all goes as planned TT CUSTOMS will be under new ownership March 2024.
TRAIL TAILOR (fabricated parts) will stay AS IS with me and be up to my discretion as to what I build and what I want to promote for my retirement scale back while building, selling and promoting TT products to the new company as well.
Exciting changes in the next two years for us.
