Hey Everyone,
I know not everyone is on Facebook so I wanted to update here before I start going everywhere else.
This past sunday (12/7/14) The VAXC went to go visit Chaos Fab Shop in Berryville, VA. I personally had been following them for awhile ever since I first ran into them a Big Dogs Offroad a year ago. I just recently in the past few months had been reaching out to see what it would take to get us to be able to attend their events. I did not know a lot about what they had going on, I just knew they had a fab shop, a really cool crawler, and they had opened a park right on the VA/WV border. Other than that, I kinda assumed they were some jeep guys that might not be all that excited about dealing with Nissans.
I am incredibly excited to report that our trip yesterday was a huge success. We had 10-15 different trucks all show up, so I was worried at first it might be too much for a scouting/meet and greet.
Nope. AK took the time to talk to every one of us, look over the rigs from front to back and let us know concerns, get to know them, point out possible weak points, bring up things we might not have thought about, and he did so the whole time complimenting the Xterra. I have met with several different fabricators over the past few years here in Richmond and 4x4 shops. The amount of respect we were treated with was outstanding. Here is a shop that can build anything, has a rig for King of Hammers parked in the entrance, and he was getting just as excited as we were. Talking about building custom suspension set ups, bumpers/sliders/skids, and not trying to gouge us at the same time.
There will be more to come from this, big time. I talked it over amongst some members of the team and we are all sold. The next steps will be getting The VAXC to be part of the Chaos family, getting some guys trained up as Trail Guides at the park, and getting a few more trucks up on their lifts to get some work done. AK and his team are just as excited to get working with us as we were to begin working with them. So in the coming months (taking a little time off personally, mini-obi's first christmas) there will be some invites sent out to check the shop out some more, to check the park out, and to attend some Chaos events.
Also - even though AK is not driving a Nissan, I am personally inviting him into the VAXC. What he has going on aligns with every thing I want the VAXC to be a part of.
So be sure to check out www.chaosoffroad.com and see what they have going on over there.
And welcome in a new partnership that will take both groups to great places.
