Managing a fleet of vehicles and equipment doesn’t have to mean dependency on dealers and proprietary systems. Whether you’re maintaining a single truck or an entire fleet, our approach combines practical expertise with open tools to give you true ownership of your equipment.
Our Experience
Continuously improving on knowledge and skills in all systems.
We actively maintain and modify:
- Custom work trucks: maintenance: fabrication and up-fitting
- ATVs (Yamaha YFZ, Raptor, Blaster and Grizzly series): resto-mods
- Homesteading machines (Kubota): maintenance and up fitting.
- Trailers and support equipment: Full wiring harnesses and custom fabrication.
In the spirit of open source, repairs, modifications, and maintenance task become documented knowledge that anyone can use.
I’m the standard YouTube mechanic, but I also actively and continuously advance my knowledge and skills through platforms like HP Academy. I’ve completed several wiring, engine building, and alignment courses and now looking forward to getting into vehicle control systems and drive systems.
