The fellas workin’ on your dream
Dave
Founder & Director of Locked In Garage
Meet Dave: Master of Mods & Gearhead Extraordinaire
When Dave isn’t leading the charge at Locked In Garage, he’s out chasing adrenaline wherever he can find it. Whether it’s cars, skydiving, wakeboarding, fishing, or camping, Dave is all about livin’
He competes professionally in Drifting, bringing his love for speed and precision to the track, and when he’s not burning rubber or working on your 4bee, you might find him thousands of feet in the air, like the time he took part in the 200-way Skydiving World Record attempt in the USA, joining 203 other thrill-seekers in an unforgettable high-altitude adventure.
Mechanical Performance runs deep in his veins, his Dad being a Mechanical Engineer for race cars, and his Grandfather also being a Mechanic. For Dave, it’s not just about reaching the destination – it’s about the journey, the thrill of innovation, and the excitement of crafting something exceptional. His passion lies in the creative process of pushing boundaries, whether it’s through cutting-edge modifications or designing the ultimate 4WD experience and striving to deliver the very best for every 4WD enthusiast that walks in those doors. Every build is an opportunity to explore new possibilities and elevate performance, ensuring that his customers always get the most exciting and reliable off-road experience.
