    alright guys I need help with some Fab shop name suggestions.
    ive made a few things here and there and am going to start producing a small scale operation out of my garage mainly to pay for Taco upgrades.
    my main customer base will be on da islands of Hawaii. but may send them elsewhere.
    ill probably make plate/tube bumpers, front shackle attachments, sliders, bed racks, bed light bars, skids, and really anything that people request.

    i always wanted to do something like "Plan B Fab", but there is already one in hawaii. so any ideas?

    FYI my initials are a no go "BJ"

    Top 4

    Obsidian Fabrication
    Obsidian Auto Armor
    No Limits Fab/ Metal Works
    Smokey mountain fab
