Come Join us at the Celtic Crawlers Grand Opening! Saturday July 26th

Hey Guys! I know its been a while, but I have some exciting news! Our good friends Chad Conely and Ted Lark have officially opened up their new Offroad Shop, Celtic Crawlers Offroad Garage in Angier NC! Now I finally have a shop to recommend all of you when you ask since we shut our doors last October.

We will be out there with them celebrating their grand opening from 9am until 2pm! They have all sorts of activities planned, including huge giveaways, Walkthroughs of their Showroom and Shop Floor, and the RTI Ramp will be set up out front to test out your Jeep's Articulation. They will have Coffee and Doughnuts for everyone who shows up early, and Chicken Wings, Hot Dogs, and Burgers for everyone who comes later on in the day. And they are setting up the door prizes on a ticket system so you don't need to stay all day to win, they will contact the winners afterwards.

So come join me out there! It will be great to see all of you, and introduce you to my friends Chad, Ted, and Dylan.

Ryan is Retiring!?! Is this the end of Maverick Metalworks?

Hey everyone! I am ready to drop a bomb on you all, so I hope that you are ready!

Over the past few months, My wife and I have been putting a great deal of thought into what we want out of the next ten years. What we want for us. What we want for our daughters. What we want for our friends and family.

In the Six years that we have owned and operated Maverick Metalworks, we have accomplished more then we ever thought possible, and built this Monumental Customer Base that has stood behind us and built up the Empire that is Maverick Metalworks. We have built a large variety of projects, from Flat Beds to full on Rock Crawlers, Custom Trailers to Massive Gates, and everything in between. You, our beloved audience, has promoted our brand and Recommended us with a tremendous uproar every time anyone even hints that they need a Welder, a Fabricator, or an Off-Road shop.

At times, it has been overwhelming, but we have done our very best to keep up with every job, making sure that large projects and small alike received the same great attention of detail that Maverick is known for. In this short time, we grew to 8 full time employees at our peak, and somehow the work load never slowed down. Last year, I personally spent 90-100 hours each week pushing as hard as I could to keep up with deadlines and make sure every customer was satisfied. We restructured this year and brought that down (most weeks) to about 60-70 hours, but at the end of the day I will never be able to not put the customers needs ahead of my own and I am really bad at saying no (what can I say, I enjoy being able to play the hero card and make things work for someone in their time of need). This comes with great satisfaction, but it also comes with great sacrifice. It comes with many nights without seeing my wife and kids. It comes with weekends helping customers and answering questions. It comes with a lack of time to work on our own long neglected projects.

With my families future in mind, we have made the decision to go into Retirement! Now, what exactly does that mean? It doesn't mean that I won't work at all, and I'll spend my days on the beach sipping Mojito's 🤣 It means that I will not have the obligation and responibilies that come with shop ownership, and I will not be a slave to the never-ending grind.

We are in the process of building a 40' x 50' shop in our back yard at our house, and we will be moving ALL of our fabrication equipment over to still give me the creative freedoms to build anything and everything my heart desires; Just instead of building for customers, we will be building for ourselves! Finishing the Cherokee to go out and beat the brakes off on the trails. Building a Kid's Crawler mini tube chassis for the girls to learn to off-road in. Building a Crawler Hauler camper trailer to haul the Jeep and a camper for traveling. Hell one day I want to build a Rat Rod jeep on 40's!

Part of that next chapter will involve a Youtube Channel (link in comments) that we will take you along the journey. Its been a dream of mine to document everything as we grow, and its finally time to do so. We will start by bringing you along as we build our shop from scratch, built entirely by us with our own hands and tools. It will be called the "build a shop series".

Please take some time to watch this video about the how, the why, and the next chapter of our lives!

Maverick Metalworks official Last Day will be November 15th, 2024. On

For any of your Welding/Fabrication Needs, our talented Shop Manager Joseph will be continuing his career at Outreach Fabrication in Angier, and we are excited to see what him, Steeve, and the Outreach Team can accomplish together!

On November 23rd, we will be throwing a huge Retirement / Customer Appreciation Party at the shop! So make sure that you keep your calendar open!

Thank you for your time to read through all of this, and for your overwhelming support throughout the years!

With Love and Appreciation,
Ryan M Holmes (Owner / C.E.O.)

We have well over 500 Gallons of gasoline to hand out today and tomorrow in the North Carolina Mountains.

We are looking for locations that are in dire need first and foremost. Those with zero access to fuel for generators, fuel for cars to get out of the area, fuel for emergency response equipment doing search and rescue.

If possible, please provide a good address, known open and closed roadways leading there, and a good contact for someone on site once our truck arrives.

We have a 100 gallon fuel cell with a transfer pump bring in large batches at once and pump efficently. This is a free service provided by donations from our community. That said, you are welcome to contribute by adding cash to the donation fund, or sending payments to us via Venmo () or cashapp ($MaverickMetal). please tag payments as "Disaster Relief" to help with tracking. ALL proceeds donated directly to disaster relief.

Please share to help us help those in need most!

We've never been more proud of anything we have built! The USVC Disaster Response Team is putting thr Hurricane Rescue Truck that we built them to work this week!

Thank you, Leonard, for everything that you do.

With so much devastation across the western part of the state, we are proud to see so many friends and local business' in our community stepping up to do what they can.

Gasoline is one major resouce that has been left out due to complications in transport. We have a 180 Gallon transfer tank set up to go to/from the effected area to provide fuel to those in need for generators or for fuel to get out of the area. Many are trapped in the area, and gas stations are either closed or out of fuel so this "liquid gold" will help our comunity get through this hardship and out to safety.

You can deliver Funds, or you can send to us via Venmo at or Cashapp at $MaverickMetal. **PLEASE TAG PAYMENT AT "Disaster Releif" to help us track payments. ALL funds go directly to those in need, and as fuel is distributed donations will be accepted to reinvest into the relief fund.

Among many others, we are your local dropoff location for goods and supplies. We have supplies going out periodically and trucks back and forth almost daily.

Today, we see our community forget about politics and differences and come together to support one another.

Does anyone know of a "runway" or a straight section of paved road at least 250' long that Maverick Metalworks could borrow or rent tomorrow and Thursday to test a cart we are building?

I feel like we are on an episode of myth busters right now! I am building a Crash Cart, designed to carry a Car at a 30° angle and crash it into an 18 Wheeler trailer at 50 MPH! The cart has a steering mechanism with limited travel to keep it on track, and a brake mechanism controlled by both a remote control and a breakaway brake system for once the car impacts the trailer. We are simulating a real-world accident that occurred recently and ended with a fatality, to reproduce the trajectory and forces that occurred during the impact. The cart is designed to test a Truss System we have been working on for an engineering firm for the past 5 years, in hopes to prevent cars from traveling underneath the trailer during an accident and hopefully save lives moving forward!

Tomorrow we will be testing the cart unloaded to do a dry run, ensuring that the brakes and steering system works as intended. On Thursday, we will load the car to make sure it is stable enough to support weight distribution, and make sure the brake system is sufficient to control the speed and stop when needed.

**we will NOT be crashing the cart at the runway needed, just testing that it properly carries the car at 30-40MPH and stays on track. We already have a crash location reserved.**

-We will gladly sign a non-liability form
-Must be paved without crazy pot holes

**Edit - we have filled all spots for this trip! Follow our page as we do a few guided rides every year**

We have 3 open spots that have opened up for next Saturdays Beginners Ride!

This ride is for those who have not been up Daniel and would like to go up with the guidance of our team of Off Road Experts.

We will begin the day with easier trails and work our way up to Daniel. If you there is anyone that doesn't want to go up the front side, we will branch off and take a group up the back side to watch the rest of the group come up the main climb.

The ONLY requirement is front and rear recovery points, but a winch and recovery gear is always a plus! We will have all of the tools and gear we could need to get the group through the day.

We will meet at Maverick Metalworks at 7:30am, do a quick shakedown on everyone's jeeps/trucks, a safety briefing, then convoy out to Uwharrie for a day of fun!

This is a charity event that we are partnering with our friends over at -Varina Duck Duck Jeep for. They are charging $20 per vehicle, and 100% of that goes straight towards the special Olympics.

GMRS radios are recommended, but not required.
