So we're just gonna get into some general conversation and just talk about DeMello Off-Road as a whole, what the company is, what kind of products they offer to the cons So that kind of lets you take it away and just kind of explain what it's all about now. Okay, so we started in about 1999, started my garage making products for Toyota trucks and SUVs, mostly Tacomas and then over time it's evolved into the later model stuff and basically now we do b Someone comes to us with a truck and we build it out for them. A lot of overlanding stuff now, it's very popular. We started off with kind of the rock-crawling thing, but we do it all, everything from, So that's what we've been doing, been doing it for a while now and a lot of guys come into us just for, That's good man. And so I'm pretty sure it's an obvious answer, but what do you think I'm ass Yeah, so the b We just did a 2014 to 2020 Tundra and we do front rear b We also do it for a couple other vehicles as well. Tacoma is a late model and earlier models. Forerunners, even the new GX's and the older GX's we do products for those as well. Nice dude. And one thing I do like, because I'm kind of a picky guy when it comes to modifications and stuff like that, is the front b They don't have a huge protrusion on the side of the vehicle where the fenders are. So like in some manufacturers you'll have literally, if you want to come with me this way, you'll have a steering b And it just looks, it doesn't look aesthetically appealing. Right. And I love it. It looks great, all around. It looks really good quality. I'm looking at the welds. They look great. And you guys are getting into the al Correct. So one of the things that we really focus on when we're building something, we want to make it as high and as tight as possible. We bring the lines in, if anything, just to give more clearance. It's ground clearance and it's also, you just want to make something that's protruding too far out. It creates more weight and more weight leverage. It's where you're basically ended up with this big chunk of steel on the front of your car and it's acting like I'm, So we also started doing al It's really popular in the overlanding crowd. It's not quite as strong as steel, but it's 40 to 60 pounds. So the big difference in weight, we do a lot of internal structure on the b So it actually holds up to impacts and stuff. This one, this shackle here goes all the way from the bottom of the b So it's basically this whole one piece here. So Yeah. So when you're pulling on this, you're pulling on the whole, the whole b I'm not just pulling from the skin. Gotcha. And one thing I do So when you're out there in the rocks and you're crawling, you definitely don't want to get stuck or hung up on anything. So this is actually pretty nice. Right. Right. That's the idea. And it's good too because I'm a rock crawler at heart. I like to get in there and beat my stuff up, break it, But getting into the overland community, I really like the option of al So having lighter armor options is always great. And again, you know, just like you said, al So again, I mean, I went full time out of a garage into a full shop in 2003, been doing it ever since. Awesome. Awesome. Very cool. So again, thank you for taking the time to kind of talk to us about the company. I wish Sounds good. Awesome, man. Here's from by. Take it easy guys.
