How is everyone doing? My name is Sean Lockwood and I have been with 4 Wheel Parts for 11 years now. I started at the Westminster store in Colorado. I came into the company as an experienced sales person on the retail counter and after about 6 months I became the assistant store manager. I was the assistant in that store until November of 2005 and that is when I went to the wholesale department for the Rocky Mountain region as a salesperson in that department.

Then I took some time off, eventually coming back to the Denver 4 Wheel Parts Store as a salesperson. I have been at this store as a member of the sales team ever since. When you place an order on one of our websites and choose to buy online and pick up in store, I am the person that contacts you and gets your order set up for you. Also, because of my experience with the company I am considered a go-to person in the store and in the region.

I have been an off road enthusiast from a young age, since the early 80s when I used to go to the stadiums for the Mickey Thompson truck races and monster truck monster jams. I also grew up camping and shooting guns with my family in the Colorado Mountains, so you could say I was born to have a career in this industry.

My first car was a 1967 Ford Mustang and I was the type of person that thought this car would go anywhere. That poor car – if I could only go back and see what it is worth now. I soon figured out that I needed a more off road worthy vehicle, but the truck I purchased was far from it. I got myself a 1991 Chevy truck that was 2wd and slammed to the ground. I had that truck for many years and gave it many facelifts, from lowering kits to air bags to one of the first Fabtech 7" long travel kits. That truck saw its final day when I rolled it behind the Westminster store on the little test track we built back there. That’s when I finally got myself a 1999 Jeep Wrangler sport. The day I purchased it, I took it to the shop and installed an Explorer Pro Comp 4” lift kit. That was my first real off road worthy vehicle. I have also had a few Jeep Cherokees and Grand Cherokees, and now I am working on a 1988 Toyota 4 Runner.

The 1988 Toyota 4 Runner came after getting the right dollar for my Wrangler. I have decided to build this rig and do it all myself: building my own triangulated 4 link system, putting on a built Dana 44 axle, and adding a GM 14 bolt in the rear. I currently have a set of Pro Comp 40-inch Xterrain tires mounted on a set of American Racing ATX 181 artillery wheels. It's currently ready for me to paint; I have started on the hood and I've decided what I am going to do as far as the paint scheme. Look for this in my up-and-coming how-to post and keep an eye out for the upgrades I make.

Koolest Chevy 2500HD – Part 2

Sean Lockwood | 1988 Toyota 4 Runner | December 17th, 2010

Day One

Tim was in high gear, tackling the basis of the Fabtech lift kit, installing the T-Rex grille, and topping off the day with the AMP steps and the Extang solid fold bed cover. He still had to do the wiring on the steps and mount the lights, but that needed to wait until the truck was on the ground and we could wire them to come down when the doors opened.

Koolest Chevy 2500HD – Part 1

Sean Lockwood | 1988 Toyota 4 Runner | December 13th, 2010

It was October 2010 when the Denver Bronco’s outside linebacker and defensive end, Elvis Kool Dumervil, contacted me with the idea of lifting a truck that he was still looking for. Elvis wanted to purchase a Black Chevrolet 2500HD and have me build him a Big Black Monster. With my experience, this is what I do best. Elvis did his homework and had an idea of what he wanted this truck to look like. I told him to find the truck and I would build him the Koolest Big Black Monster he’d ever seen.

4 Wheel Jamboree in Indianapolis, Indiana 2010

Sean Lockwood | 1988 Toyota 4 Runner | October 6th, 2010

Once again, Team 4 Wheel Parts headed back east for the biggest Jamboree of the year. The 29th Annual Fall 4 Wheel Jamboree went for 3 days: Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The crew put in some serous time here in Indy. We also put on an after-party sale called “Night on the Rocks.” Saturday, we kept the Indianapolis store open until midnight for more action with a private rock garden, food and music, and unbeatable sales. This was the biggest show in the East and if you have never been, I recommend that you mark your calendar for next year.
