Some news to share...

I saw the post yesterday about Timberline and thought, "what better time than now?"....

I've decided to retire from #vanlife and pursue an opportunity in a different part of the country. I'm finishing up a customer van in the coming weeks and then my priorities will shift to the next chapter in life. No more van builds, no more custom van parts.

I'd like to thank you all for your support over the years. I've had such great experiences in this community and made life-long friendships along the way. I also supported my family for many years with this business and I greatly appreciate the opportunity all of you have given me to do that.

I've sold out of all of our 4x4 bracket kit inventory and don't plan to make any more of them. As I pack up the shop, I'm going to set aside van parts and Ford specific tools for a "make-an-offer-palooza"... Locals who know where to find me are welcome to stop in for a first hand look.

Cheers!
