Awesome job. Sub’d on YouTube! Thanks for posting this.
The support means everything, thank you so much! :fist bump:

Have a brother that lives in Framingham...may be able to stop by your business, when I'm up there.
I'd be more than happy to have you at the shop. I'll keep the forum posted the biggest challenge for me has been finding the right location and commercial/industrial space. If anyone here ends up finding me the right location, Ill Raptor Line their rig for the cost of parts at this point! :headbang:

Great video...subscribed...that girl is a keeper...don't throw her back...you must have her fooled pretty good. Keep us informed of your business; maybe we can work out something with lining my Jeep in the future. Take Care.
Again, I really appreciate your support. I'd be proud to be able to line your Jeep or even just have people visit the shop. As for the girl, I'm certainly keeping her! We met freshman year at our university and she's been there for me since. I'm glad to have someone so supportive knowing I'm taking a risk trying to open up a business given the times we're in.

I look forward to hearing from you in the future.

What the heck hood is that?
I honestly couldn't tell you. He had purchased it before I got my hands on the Jeep. It wasn't perfect whatever it was and you can tell in the video that right above the Trail Rated badge the fitment was off. I'm pretty sure it was a fairly inexpensive steel hood. Sorry I couldn't be of more use!

Really great job, to add on what many have said already. Don't sell yourself and work short. Quality work isn't cheap cheap work isn't always crap but it's the norm. "Friends n family rate" can cost you more than you would know or expect. Fair rate for all, with that you will be giving back to the Jeep community more. I've "helped" out more than a few fellow "Jeepers" then had them just "use me and others" one example I gave a buddy a axle to get his Jeep back drivable to later have another buddy in the Jeep club telling me the great deal he got for the axle, another went on to sell the stuff I have him to replace on his Jeep.
Now in last while the good karma I've worked on seems to be coming back around to me though.? I wish you well on your endeavors, having your own business isn't easy but you sound up to it.

Wow! The color and finish isn't my taste but I always appreciate seeing people doing things correctly with attention to detail. Very good work!

I guess it's a cycle for everyone and we end up realizing what you're saying! I know the good karma comes around for us and we don't regret the help we gave because after all, the Jeep community always finds a way to give back. In my case, just reading all of these responses has been enough for me and I can't thank everyone enough for taking the time out of their day to read and join the conversation here. Thanks for looking out!

Thank you so much! It takes a lot to commit to such a permanent finish that's not only matte but textured. It certainly gives it a more rugged look, but it's definitely not for all. In the end, I think it's more practical for harsh trail use, but maybe not for those who enjoy their glossy paint.

Nice job, gave you a like on YouTube ? hope that helps.
I think by far the most important interaction for a creator that someone can perform is liking a video! Thank you so much and I hope you were able to enjoy the video as well!

It means the world to me and the channel, thank you! A thumbs-up on the video is paramount for YouTube to see the video worthy of promoting in suggested videos and the browse feature.

My girlfriend and I went to Portsmouth just a few weeks ago to check out NH as well. She works north of Boston about 30 minutes so NH is certainly an option! In fact, I think both she and I would fit in NH more than Boston haha. she grew up skiing in VT and I've always been into Jeeps and raced DH and enduro mountain biking in college. My offer stands in that I'll definitely make a deal with anyone who can help me find a location for a shop! I think the lack of sales and income tax may help although I haven't done the math with respect to the increase in property tax.

Just leave off any canned "what's loosely called" music, I'd rather listen to finger nails down a chalkboard or a metal grinder.

The options for copyright-free music are slim these days. I try and keep the background music as neutral as possible, but better options require a license and that's just not something I'm willing to add to my budget at the moment. I appreciate the honest feedback though, I'll be able to allot money for these music services one day, I just need to prioritize elsewhere for now!
