About CX Mods

I'm Casey, and my passion for cars has been a lifelong journey. After graduating from college, I initially ventured into the automotive world as a service advisor. However, I quickly realized my true calling was connecting with fellow enthusiasts and supplying them with the parts they genuinely desired, rather than pushing unnecessary maintenance.

For nearly nine years, I immersed myself in the aftermarket Subaru scene, working with a dynamic startup. In July 2023, I decided to take a hiatus to reflect on my path. During this break, my interest in overlanding, which began in 2019, became a significant part of my life. The ability to easily camp with our dogs, explore remote areas, and venture into mountain biking excursions fueled my love for this niche within the automotive realm.

Inspired by this passion, I embarked on a new venture. Observing the limited aftermarket support for the Corolla Cross, which we purchased for my wife in 2022, I saw an opportunity to create a market for this crossover and potentially expand it to other models. The goal is to contribute to the growth of the industry, which has seen a surge in popularity in recent years.

 

The main motivation behind this idea is the rising cost of full-size vehicles. On top of that, most people don’t actually need a massive lift or 35-inch tires to get where they’re going. Watching Subaru enthusiasts modify their vehicles made me realize there’s a real opportunity to bring that same spirit to the Corolla Cross market. While the RAV4 already has a similar following, I believe there’s still room for improvement and innovation, which is exactly why I’m here.

As I dive into this venture, I am enthusiastic about the potential and eager to see where it takes both the platforms and the industry. I believe there is untapped potential in catering to the needs of enthusiasts seeking aftermarket options for their crossover vehicles. I'm always interested in understanding what the market might be missing or falling short on, and I look forward to shaping the future of this evolving space.
