Thing about the waiting.... seriously, whats/who is gonna be hot in 2 years ? Woodlee builds sick ****, no doubt no question. He is hot in the south at this moment and doing the right thing, getting it while he can all he can. Its smart business on his end.
The question is, do you just want Woodlee to build it because you want his name on it, or do you believe he is doing something that no one else is or can ??? I think we all know the answer to that. So , really what you gotta decide is if you want HIS name on your rig and if your willing to wait to get HIS name on your rig. Everything else is just compromise.
If I were in your shoes .... Id be lookin harder at Brian Cole than I would anyone else.... He started that double frame sick tube stuff, I think because he isnt interweb celeb or even online alot of people over look that. Every chassis Woodlee has built is the same double frame design that Brian Cole started doing on the FJ and Sami waaaaaay before Woodlee came along. The reseamblance on thier chassis layouts are so insanely close Im surprised they havent fought each other with their shirts off yet about it lolol
Do whats in your heart and get what you want, your commiting alot on this rig so make your decision and stick it out time is only part of what your getting into . I also dont know money difference between Brian and Woodlee, but damn they build about the same rig really...
