DIY4X is a company that caters to the "Do It Yourself"
off roader. My name is Kert Cohoon, welcome to my website. In these
pages you will find some of our own off the shelf products and custom
creations for some of our customers. At some point in your off roading
experience you will find that off the shelf products, simply won't
get it done. That is where we come in. We are basically a custom
fabrication shop specializing in off road trucks. We also make parts
for other automotive sports including: dirt track, pulling trucks
and drag racing. Other fabrication shops want to do large runs of
parts, for us it doesn't matter, 1 piece to 1000 pieces, whatever
you need.
Steering Page!
We have added a steering page to the website and will start populating it with parts as we bring them through R and D. Some parts that are already there have been on the website for some time. We felt they would be easier to locate on a specific page for steering components.
So Check back from time to time to keep it headed in the right direction!
Recently
DIY4X has been asked the question, "Are you big business?"
Well, I'd like to answer that question right here. This is a subjective
question completely dependant on perspective and definition. So, I'll
define my idea and perception of big business for you.
We
are BIG on customer service! Before the purchase,
during the purchase and after the purchase! Your requirements are
at the heart of our business period!
We are BIG on Quality! If I don't like it you won't
see it! I'm picky and consider every part that leaves the shop my
signature!
We are BIG on value! I try to keep our prices competitive
as possible however, more things go into value than just pricing!
So are we big business. YES! In every way that
it matters in our humble opinion.
Thank you,
Kert Cohoon
DIY4X Owner.

We
finally got the DIY4X blazer drivable. I say drivable
because, I believe it may never be done. I think we can
go wheeling again though. Here are some specs for you.
500 caddy, SM465, 203/205, 14BFF and a HP dana 60. 4.88:1
gears and both ends are spooled. 44"x 18.5"
- 16.5 tsl's with our custom beadlocks. The frame is boxed
and cage is solid mounted as well as the body and drivetrain.
We've removed all the frame flex so we can tune the suspension
to do what we want it to do. The suspension is comprised
of factory 52" 1/2 ton springs 4+1. A zero rate in
the front and a custom drop away shackle in the rear.
Driveshafts were built in our shop.
Some of the other custom stuff, Custom headers that exit
outside the frame rails through 3" exhaust. 1/2 top
with a lexan window. There is also a Lexan window in the
floor behind the seats which allows view of the rear axle
and a portion of the rear drive shaft. Rear mounted radiator
flows through 2" aluminum tubing from the engine
all the way back which helps keep things cool. Customized
camoflauge interior done by my wife! Thanks babe!
Some other stuff off the top of my head,
Razor back diff covers
custom Backbone truss system
Dual red top optimas
Full hydraulic steering
Ford 205 amp alternator
York on board air compressor
Everything I can think of was built in house. I'm sure
there is more but that is all I can think of right now.
Good to have it drivable again and hopefully we'll see
you wheeling!
