There is a lot more to the story than just that, Ryan Payson and I have wanted to come up with our own line long before hydrohaulic was around. When Hydroholics came around, him and I saw great potential in this company and it did exactly what ryan and I wanted. After the rise of a fellow company we decided to put our ideas on the back burner. I started to push their product and use it in an everyday situation. I have always tried to give whatever I could to this communty. You wouldnt believe how many trucks I have built where I have gone way over and above what was expected because the people were my friends. I knew without my help they would not be able to afford it. I have found myself re-doing complete graphic jobs for the price of simply just repairing it. Completly redoing someones suspension and graphics and vurtally rebuilding their truck for the price of a paint job, all in hope that, this person would, in-turn advertise for me and further my business. In reality, the friends that I have done this for, has in retrospect, always came back to bite me. Most of the time the opposite has happend souly because there job "took too long".
I continue to do this anyway, hence, the give away truck. This person came to me becuase we both suported eachother in business. Durring sema time, I spent all my time and money to get this truck to the show. Countless hours to the point where my actual health was at risk do to my determination. There were a lot of things added to our original deal which in return added more to his end. The end result was the truck needed to be repainted and it was my decision to do so. We needed to talk about stuff that was not taken care of on his part. He got mad because I missed a couple of appointments and asked me how much it was going to cost to repaint his truck. I told him nothing, just do what you said you would do for all the extras you asked for. He then decided to take it somewhere else. All my time, work and money was all a waste. This, in return, ruined our business relationship.
So with all that said, I have no more need for putting this new idea on hold. We plan on having a large booth at westcoast and it's the perfect place to release the new line. My focus will be on quaily and pricing. I will continue to do what I can for the communtiy. By making it affordable for the people that want to do this but don't have the means. I have so many people talking bad things about me, but all I really want to do is build and paint some of the coolest things, make a good name for my shop and be able to provide for my wife and kids. Thats it and I'm done with people that create drama, I'm tired of defending myself for helping people out I shouldn't have to.
