When the owner of 4x Innovations, Adam, embarked on his first ever truck build, a wrecked 1987 4 Runner, dubbed Junior, he knew it would be a big project, but little did he know just what that project would turn into. From the humble beginning, working almost completely in the uncovered pad of concrete at a farm and his parent’s driveway, the project began. As it progressed Adam realized that the parts he needed just weren’t available at a price, quality, and look he wanted. At this time the build took a new turn to learning new fabrication skills. Soon a tubing bender, notcher, and other tools arrived in the driveway, amazing friends and neighbors. Once the truck was “finished” (they never really are, are they?) and the wheeling began, people took note of the work done to this vehicle and started asking for parts.

That great build and humble beginning grew into what now is 4x Innovations. After 3 years in aerospace engineering, Adam realized a dream and took his growing hobby and turned it into a business, moving from outdoors to indoors, into a small shop. Again in August 2007 4x Innovations expanded into a new, nicer, larger facility where there is plenty of room to grow with it’s customers. From day one the focus has simply been to make a good part that functions as needed, has a clean look, and has a fair price behind it. The attention is in the details, and listening to what you, the wheelers want is just one of those details. Adam regularly takes customer’s responses and requests and integrates those requests into product upgrades and even new products. He is always trying to push the envelope of what can be done, and come up with a new way to do something. When you place an order you’re sure to be getting not just a part, but the whole package of care and service that part needs to go with it.

Providing great parts is just one of Adam’s passions. In the time not spent building trucks and parts he spends time with his little brothers. He also loves snowboarding, biking, mountain boarding, traveling, and many other things. The kid inside still occasionally races the gas RC truck, or flies the RC plane and helicopter. In the winter his years of snowboarding turn into being a mentor and judge for local junior freestyle competitions. His travels take him all over the country, so keep an eye out for him on the trail or on the snow.
