Field Trip to see Black Widow Offroad

[Rusted]

I had the day off work today and was in the neighborhood of the Black Widow, so I stopped by. I had in my mind that it was in the same complex area as Ben Hanks, but it is not. It is right on 9000th south and very close to the freeway. I can't believe I have driven past it and not even see it. I will have to stop by more often.








Black Widow is right next to the Blindman store. I knew right where that was

When I walked in both Bear and Shawn were busy with people getting some projects lined up. They told me to have a look at some sliders they just finished while I was waiting. I have never concidered square tube for a slider but these things looked great!

Notice how far under the tub they go, all the way to the frame rails


The flat area on the top for a step was really clean

Back in the shop they were busy making a bigger version of this press that Bobmed made earlier.


Here is the little one. And I wish I would have taken better photos of the layout of the new big one. It is being made from 5/8" steel



They have better tire equimpment than a lot of tire stores. Next time I need tires busted I am going to go there rather than fight them myself




And a nice lift

And on my way out of the shop I took a few quick photos of one wall there. Bear was very helpful, I have no doubt that he would go over and beyond to take care of a customer. He is new and is out to prove himself, he also mentioned that he is willing to do some of the odd and custom work on any rig, and he will be competitive on price. If you need something done I bet it would be worth your time to stop by and get a bid on the work.

Hey Bear, what is the scoop on the sliders? Avalible for pretty much anything make/model?

I have never been a fan of the square slider, but I must say those look pretty damn good.

Very nice indeed. Kinda makes me want to trade my buggy in on a nice YJ.

i took my field trip not to long ago, and am getting a custom skid plate made, very reasonable price, cant wait to see the finished project. Very nice guys

Cool

What does that press do?

 

[Tacoma]

It bends plate, and very well I might add. It goes in a 30ton press. That's the little one Bobmed made, they are making a larger one for... wider stuff.

Bear, as in big Mike that worked at 4WP before?

The same.

Ah, very cool. A budget iron worker

I might stop by if I have time this afternoon.

Thanks for all the positive feed back everyone.

We really look forward to meeting everyone from RME.

RME has been the only form of local advertising we have used so far and I am more than pleased with the amount of publicity we have gotten. Everyone on here has been great and very supportive.

Please remember us for any of your vehicle needs. Everything from an oil change to custom body armor.

Thanks again,
Bear
