@izzy_fab Luxury Prerunner #001
The Keith O’Neal Silverado is nearing completion. We brought it up to his house for a Race Dezert photoshoot this past week before we take it out to Barstow for final testing. The journey has been a long one with many changes, but the final product is worth it.
Picked up @keithoneal127 prerunner skeleton fresh from the guys over at @exclusiveautobodyandcustoms and I must say I’m very impressed with the outcome! The color is just what we had in mind to blend in with those carbon body panels. It looks so good in the sun!
Took it straight from there over to Dallas at @linexsandiego to work his magic on a few sections of the cab.
It’s all coming together nicely 👌🏻

@izzy_fab FORD EXPLORER! 🧭 Izzy do you still have this thing? If you do run it in the NO CAGE CLASS at Speed Metal May 15 & 16 // #terracrew #prerunner
You know what’s really annoying, when you F’ up mounting brakes. There was definitely a truck in my early days that I screwed up. Used some off the shelf shit working with a budget. Ended up having issues. Maybe it was my fault for quoting it to do it within that budget and that manner but it wasn’t right. It was some 1/4” 4130 bracket you buy at kartek. I’ve definitely learned my lesson. Nowadays, we are fortunate enough to have the clients to have budgets to be able to do things to absolute perfect perfection. Or at least to the best of my ability🤷🏻♂️.
This is an example, Keiths pre-Runner worked great when I drove it, but due to some old motocross injuries and other reasons, he wanted the truck to be much easier for him to stop, and if you know, manual brakes and big heavy vehicles with big tires, it’s not like you have everything going for you. The decision was made to work with @alconusa on some new stuff they’re coming out with.
We are very fortunate to work with Quinton over there and have him and his team take care of us and set us up with some bad ass stopping hardware.
It led to a complete redesign of his brake master cylinder assembly and pedal, as well as doing brackets in a certain manner that Alcon requested, which were big thick boys. Obviously fixtures are in order as we do with all our set ups nowadays, so these are what I came up with for the Alcon stuff and the finished product!
What do you guys think?! #izzyfab #alcon #luxuryprerunner #4130 #billet #tigwelding
Well here’s the Izzy Fab life update I know a lot of you have been waiting for.
It all started about this time last year.
Really maybe even before then.
You see when I started the Shop one of my very best friends Alan moved from Colorado to work with me.
Fast-forward 6+ years later he begins studying to get his commercial real estate license.
I jokingly said to him (because I wanted him to follow through with it) if you actually do it, I’ll buy a building from you.
Well, he did it. Sold a building and I was like damn. And that’s when I realized our lease was coming up at our previous location. That’s when one of my other best friends who is my business partner in one of my other businesses @boomeranghauling and I got to talking. We needed a facility for both businesses as we were both rapidly growing beyond our expectations. So we started looking, and it wasn’t long until we found this place and became quite fond of it. Next thing you know our offer is accepted with a preapproval, and we move forward into escrow. It took about seven months to close escrow. But finally, were handed the keys in September 2025.
Then we got straight to work.
By this point it would cost us much more out-of-pocket than we anticipated and paying contractors like originally anticipated wasn’t so much an option anymore. Sub out what we could afford and the rest that we felt comfortable with we did ourselves.
And honestly, we killed it! Or at least I feel like we did!
I don’t have any fancy degrees. I didn’t even finish high school. I’ve got a wicked GED. A can do it attitude. And common sense like you wouldn’t believe with a big side of hard headed thinking.
Let this be proven to you that you can make it happen. The only person stopping you is yourself. Chase that dream follow that goal.
I’ve definitely lagged on this post, we have been out of this world busy. And I feel time should be dedicated to those of you who have placed orders with us, have trucks being built by us and have supported us to get to this point. Now that we’re finally getting caught up, I will be much more active on here as far as posts and not just my silly stories lol.
Thank you all.❤️#izzyfab
