#WhyWeWeld
Brandon Potter, known on Instagram as @2jz_yota, is a Las Vegas–based welder and fabricator who started learning welding after being inspired by a friend. He’s now building his 1989 Toyota pickup into an Ultra4 rock-crawler, taking on engine swaps, custom fabrication, and more. We talked with Brandon about his build journey and how he hopes to inspire the next generation of hands-on builders.
