Hey guys I found this community thru google search and I know how invaluable forums can be sometimes! I just recently bought an 02' Blaster thats currently stock. I wanna do a bunch of work to it and be able to pass it along to the children...but first I gotta have some fun with it!

A little about me...I've been powder coating for several years and pretty much know alot of the ins and outs of it. I have done alot of custom work for the offroad community of Toyotas, as I use to own a 4Runner.

My plans this winter are to fully powder coat it, including the frame, extended swingarm, shocks, reeds, pipe, jet kit, and a nicely powder coated aluminum airbox for more flow as well as looking good! Gotta long way to go...but it will be looking and performing well by next summer I:I I just did the front wheel flip and took off the plastic heel guards a few minutes ago...

Enough of the chatter...time for some pics! Don't flame me too much for not wearing the melon cover...I'm purchasing one really soon!

The wife lived in Bedford growing up and her grandmother lives at the bottom of Peaks Of Otter Mtn.

I live right off 9th St. right outside of Vinton...
 
awesome pics welcome to the forum. the only thing i dont like about the pc is the toyota stuff but other than that its awesome. just a question if you were to powdercoat some of the stuff on this forum how much would you charge?

Yeh I use to be big into Toyota off road stuff...now I'm back to my Chevrolet and Yamaha self again :D

Once I get the oven back up and get this 4 wheeler done, then i could do some things for you guys on here. I use to do giveaways on the other forums I was a member of back in my Toyota lovin days...hell I'd even trade some aftermarket things for coating. I'm not ridiculously priced on things like regular shops. I had some guys that would ask me, "Why don't you charge more?" I would simply say..."because I'm not in this to get rich, I just love what i do." So yeh...if you had some good parts to trade up, then I'm game on coating something! I'm not hard to work with...
