For some, building a vehicle is as much fun as actually using it. They enjoy the process of diving deep into the details to research and find the right aftermarket parts for their rides. After that step, the tools come out to carefully install those parts to begin transforming a stock vehicle into what they envision. Long nights in the garage are finally rewarded with a more capable vehicle that can take on challenging terrain.

Others just want to get out in the dirt and hit the gas. For them, wrenching on a vehicle is more of an arduous task that usually results in lots of cursing, broken tools, and busted knuckles. Some simply don’t have the spare time to burn trying to build a vehicle. While that process could always be outsourced to a shop, finding a reliable one that will work within the right timeframe can always be a roll of the dice.
