Far from an expert, but more experienced than most in this area no doubt!
You keep referring to customers, you should add shock rebuilds to your repertoire, professionally. I bet a lot of people with Mojaves and Raptors would send you their shocks.

Its on my mind, but the shop is so understaffed its not funny! I've been rolling solo for the past 4 years looking for the right candidate. You wouldn't believe how difficult it has been to find a tech in our area that cares about thier work and will show up no matter what the compensation offering is.

Actually, I have some idea. A friend of mine has a car care business. Getting reliable help that cares is a constant struggle, more so in the last year than ever before.

From what you know, the stock shocks on the Mojave should be easily rebuilt by Fox, or a reputable shop, if my hunt turns up one?

This is going too far, it is really just a bunch of speculation that means close to nothing. The rebuild thing is for hard users, which is not many ppl. Taking your Mojave out to a few low speed trails or basic forest service roads is not going to destroy your shocks. Like if you do meth on the wknd you might need more service after than if you smoked some weed....... Or if you drink 100 oz of whiskey vs a 6 pack of IPA's you might need more service........................................................

Should be a simple service for someone that has the equipment and knows what they are doing.

doesnt require skill, requires capital. ill see what's available in the market.
You could probably make some money…or there’s just a handful of us obsessed with it.

It isn't a lot of money to be made, but it's there. Maybe buy a house in rural WV money in a trade for 1 shock money. But it's money.

Move to northern WV, and I will give you a hand. I'm retired with some free time to make some extra money to support my Jeep habit.

Will you trade 1 Mojave shock for 5 acres? That seems to be the going rate last time I was in that area.
