[QUOTE="Dwill817, post: 536718, member: 10907"] Lots of people on the east coast, especially the Southeast, are DIY folks due to lack of money.. Most of us build our junk on our own and with the help of some buddies. We all know a guy good at welding, and a buddy who can took electrical classes in high school, and another who's dad was a mechanic and he grew up building motors. There's really not a lot of industry for small custom junk because most just build it themselves. I'm 20 and have built my rig by myself on a college budget the last year.. I would have never been able to afford to pay someone and really honestly I'm passionate about learning myself and being able to say I built this on my own.. [b]We're proud poor folks who would rather do it ourselves just to say we can than to pay someone![/b] If you have a million to throw at enough equipment to start tons of production work like Trail-Gear then you can make a living, but who has that money.. And like others mentioned the offroad scene is just not as large. Too many people are into other things like hunting, fishing, etc. Most people with money are farmers or business owners who's time is consumed with both. [/QUOTE]
