We also are competitive in the land of Toyota and the Tacoma, Tundra or 4-Runner. We offer great customer service and an enormous knowledge base that comes from years of owning and caring for cars and trucks just like yours. Feel free to contact us directly by going to our Contact Page.
Back in the ancient times of 2004, there started a little speed shop in Muscatine, Iowa, called Stage 3 Motorsports that sold a few Mustang parts on a pretty basic website back before online retail was a weaponized juggernaut. The business moved to Arizona, and it grew and grew and grew until you have what you see in front of you today. We here at Stage 3 have always been a bit different than the rest of those performance parts sellers out there. We're an online retailer first and foremost. At one point, we were the #1 retailer of Roush and Saleen parts in the country. We tried to have an install shop and front-end retail establishment, but in the end, those things were distractions from providing the best customer service we possibly could to our online customers. In the end, we here at Stage 3 are only about one thing - making you happy with your Mustang, Bronco, Ranger, F150, Super Duty, Tacoma, Tundra or 4-Runner. While we can definitely help you make your vehicle of choice into one of the most powerful and aggressive-looking things on the planet, we're also well aware that it isn't for everybody, and we want to help you build your car or truck just how you want it. We help out our Military Veterans with a 5% discount, and we keep our prices competitive to get everyone else the best deals we can.
We've been on the online retail game a long time, and we aren't planning on going anywhere any time soon. Our team of around 30 full-time employees works out of our Phoenix headquarters handling sales, customer service, tuning, tracking, and web design/content, helping to ensure you get the best shopping and buying experience that we can manage. Our website sees millions of page views a month from customers all over the world, all looking to make their Ford vehicle of choice the best that it can be and meet just about any application that they have in mind. We have over 20,000 parts listed on our site, covering everything from high-priced superchargers and lift kits to basic accessories like LED replacement bulbs and grab handles. With our huge selection, you're bound to find a thing or two that you can use on your very own vehicle build, and we'll be more than happy to answer any questions you have and give you the guidance you need to make the right buying decision for your needs.
We here at Stage 3 get your parts out as fast as possible and use multiple warehouses located all over the country to keep parts in stock and get them to your door quickly. In this era of global Ford vehicles, we've partnered up with international shipping providers and freight forwarders to supply Ford owners the world over with the parts they need to get their vehicles looking and performing just how they want, no matter where they are. We test out a ton of the parts we carry on our very own Project Vehicles, and we build each and every one of our aggressive projects to function out in the real world. We all drive to work, go camping, hit trails, and go down to the track on the regular, so all of our projects need to be able to do it all. You won't see crazy SEMA builds that come out for a single auto show before getting sold off to a collector. The testing of the products we have on the site means we have intimate knowledge of how they affect performance, ride, and aesthetics so that we can give you an honest opinion on whether you should get these same parts for your own vehicle. We even own our own sorta-secret testing area up in Northern Arizona so that we get great apples-to-apples comparisons on a variety of truck parts.
Sales Team
- Bill L. - President
Here's the guy who started it all in 2004 with nothing but a degree from WyoTech and a passion for aftermarket Mustang parts. Many moons and a couple of kids later, Bill's love for the blue oval has evolved along with Stage 3 Motorsports. Today his garage includes F150s, Super Duties, Mustangs and most recently, a white Focus ST - all of which have or are soon to get the full Stage 3 treatment. Bill loves to take the trucks off-road out in the many open landscapes of Northern Arizona, and as much as we dread being subjected to four hours of country music for the drive up, we generally don't mind joining him. As much as we give him grief for his incessant love of country music and the Iowa Hawkeyes, Bill has kept Stage 3 chugging along all these years and deserves some credit for that.
- John B. - Sales Manager
John has been with Stage 3 since prehistoric 2007 and has amassed a huge amount of knowledge of Ford cars and trucks in his time here. Born in Chicago and partially raised in Wisconsin, John loves to spend time racing and fishing on the ice, which is unfortunate considering he moved to the scorched desert of Phoenix, Arizona. The good news is that he's since developed quite an affection for conquering our cacti-filled trails in his 2019 F150 King of the Desert Project Truck. Before the Desert King Build, John owned and abused a good deal of Fords, including a pro-charged 2013 F150 5.0L with a 7" lift, a 2006 F350 with exhaust stacks and an 8" lift and a 2015 XLT 3.5L EcoBoost F150 Project Truck. However, John's most interesting piece of machinery is arguably our 2006 Mustang Dark Horse clone that rocked not only the first aftermarket Saleen Supershaker Supercharger kit, but also more than a few genuine Saleen Dark Horse pieces that were meant for the aborted #10 Saleen "Dark Horse" Mustang.
- Lou M. - Sales Team Lead
Born and raised in Arizona, Lou developed a love for sports cars and off-road trucks at an early age and has owned and worked on a ridiculous amount of fox body Mustangs over the years. The only time Lou isn't outdoors is when he's in the office or at the gym, otherwise he's out fishing, camping or playing softball with his son, Michael. Lou is constantly working on his summer bod, and we're all cheering him on hoping he gets there one of these summers. Lou was the proud owner of our 2012 Mustang GT Project Car until he decided to go with "the 4-Runner which must not be named." While Lou's Toyota is a bit of a taboo subject around Stage 3, he's been with Stage 3 since August of 2010 and the place just wouldn't be the same without him.
- Joel G. - Sales Team
When it comes to his builds, Joel doesn't discriminate, having owned and modified almost 20 vehicles including a supercharged Honda Civic, 4WD Cherokee crawler, and 2001 F150 pre-runner. Joel's experience working in the automotive industry includes managing a Honda parts department and working at a dealership, and finally becoming a customer service representative for Stage 3 Motorsports. With as much time as he spends around cars and trucks, Joel still finds time to get outside to go hunting or camping. Eventually, Joel dreams of owning a Ford Raptor as his trophy truck. We all fully support this dream, as long as he lets us take turns riding shotgun on his off-road runs.
Customer Service Team
- Nate C. - Customer Service Manager
Immediately after Nate finished his first major automotive project - restoring an old Chevy 350 - he knew it would be a lifelong passion. Passed on from his dad, Nate has since gone on to work on over 20 project cars dating between 1966 and 1978, and believe it or not, he's lucky enough to have an understanding wife that supports his hobby. While he's already built up one Ford, a 1969 Galaxie 500 two-door, Nate dreams of rolling around in a modern build of a 1973 Ford Falcon XB GT coupe with a blower bulging out of the hood. Dream big, Nate.
- Lindsey H. - Customer Service Team
Born and raised right here in the Valley of the Sun, Lindsey has spent most of her life surrounded by trucks, muscle cars and dragsters. With a lifted F250 as her training wheels, she learned how to drive, tow and off-road the Stage 3 way. Lindsey's first car was also a Ford, so that's extra points for her. Given, it was a Ford Aspire, but a Ford nonetheless. When she isn't working on one of her Mustangs, which include a 2012 V6, a 2001 GT and a couple of fox bodies, she's volunteering and coordinating at her local animal shelters. Lindsey owns five pit bull mixes - everything in excess, right?
- Rey R. - Customer Service Team Lead
Rey is a Phoenix native with a passion for the turbocharged AWD cars of the late 90s and early millennium. His dream ride is a 1997 Nissan GTR NISMO 400R in Midnight Purple, but he's also developed quite an affection for Fords in his time working at Stage 3. Considering his obsession with turbos, it's no surprise that when he went shopping for a Ford truck, he went with a 2013 Ruby Red F150 EcoBoost. Certified in autobody right out of high school, Rey can turn a wrench with the best of them and is well-equipped to handle just about any customer concern. The fact that he named his son, Enzo, after the founder of Ferrarri further proves Rey's undying devotion to things that go fast.
- Dennis L. - Customer Service Team
Hailing from San Jose, California, Dennis joins Stage 3 Motorsports after careers with Hona and Acura for twelve years. Dennis has owned a whopping sixty vehicles over his lifetime, most notably an Opel wagon and an '88 Ranger ST-X 4WD. If that's not crazy enough for you, then you might want to ask him about his time with an M1A1 Tank. In the future, Dennis hopes to own a classic 1993 Acura Integra GS-R, a dream we definitely can get behind. When out of the office, Dennis enjoys spending time with his wife, four sons and granddaughter or listening to some old school freestyle music.
- Micki G. - Customer Service Team
Who you gon' call? Micki! When she is not serving Stage 3's customers, Micki can be found investigating the paranormal with her ex-sumo wrestler husband and children. She also enjoys the great outdoors, like a lot of us overlanders do at our company. Micki enjoys fishing and rock collecting when she can make it out to the wilderness! With a mighty 2003 Ford F250 Crew Cab, her and the family can easily make it to the most attractive, remote campsites. Someday, she hopes to be able to make these trips in a 1954 Chevy Truck with a wooden bed, which would sure catch our attention.
- Kelly E. - Customer Service Team
As an Arizona native and resident, Kelly has plenty of opportunists to practice her hobbies of photography, traveling, hiking, fishing, shooting and off-roading when she is not at the office. In her free time, Kelly likes to go archery hunting whenever possible and yearly goes Antelope hunting in the green state of Montana. Kelly also enjoys spending time with her USMC husband, two dogs and cat. We are most proud of her mighty 2017 Ford F150 3.5L Ecoboost that she is outfitting with aftermarket parts. It sits high and mighty in our parking lot along with the rest of our fleet. She also brings a sweet Dodge Charger Scat Pack to the office occasionally and may bring a Mustang someday if we're lucky.
- Briana N. - Customer Service Team
Briana has worked hard as a diesel mechanic for the Navy and holds certifications for CAT and Detroit engines, so she brings a great work ethic and extensive knowledge to Stage 3. After leaving the Windy City for the Valley of the Sun, Briana now cares for her four year old son and two cute felines. We don't recommend you challenge her to an arm wrestle. Briana enjoys keeping her body at its peak level by power lifting, hiking and doing anything fitness related. Graphic design is also an interest of Briana's and she is currently pursuing a bachelor's degree for web design and multimedia presentations. Someday, she hopes she can own a futuristic Tesla Cyber Truck.
- Matt B. - Customer Service Team
Matt is right at home at Stage 3 because of his love for motorsports. He has previously raced dirt go karts, catamaran sailboats and jet skis. With the recent addition of a Can Am UTV, he has a lot of off-road experience under his belt and we don't recommend you try to race him. On the road, Matt worked as a limo driver in Upstate New York prior to working for us. While he has owned numerous Ford cars and trucks, he currently owns his dream car, a sporty Chevy Corvette Z06. With a wide range of vehicle experience, Matt is very knowledgeable if you have questions. Matt also is engaged, has a son, a dog and a cat.
Web Team
- Jason L. - Web Team/Content Manager
Jason wrangles the web team and handles F150 content, blogs, product listings, Q&A, and any issues with the website in general. After graduating from Northern Arizona University in snowy Flagstaff with a BA in English, Jason decided to migrate south for warmer weather and the rest is history. He owns the Stage 3 2011 F150 XL 5.0 Project Truck, a truck with humble beginnings to say the least, which he's managed to salvage into a cool-looking and capable trail-crawler. A family man himself with a wife and young son, Jason can occasionally be spotted in his more mild-mannered Corolla or maroon Saab.
- Noah S. - Photographer/Video Production Manager
Noah is the very definition of the American success story, beginning with Stage 3 as the guy who pushed boxes around the warehouse and progressing to become the Web Team Graphic Designer in just a few short years. Noah studied Photography at Glendale Community College where he cut his teeth in the super competitive industry that is automotive photography. In his off time, Noah likes to work on cars, go off-roading, travel, hike and of course take pictures of everything. He's owned a 2000 Mustang GT Convertible, '97 Mustang V6 and a '96 Lincoln Town Car Limo featuring a home-made American flag paint job. More recently, Noah drove around a gorgeous2014 F150 3.5L Tremor Overland Project Truck, but traded it in for his current 2019 Toyota 4Runner TRD Project Truck!. Not everyone would agree with swapping a Ford for a Toyota, but Noah's 4Runner is a very off-road capable build, especially after we tinkered with it.
- Leo K. - Video Producer
Leo made his name in automotive cinematography with Braindead Media, where he helped produce the sensational mini-documentary "Exhausted Love" about a young man's passion for building cars. Despite being surrounded by Fords here at Stage 3, Leo's true love is imports. That said, he is the loving owner of a perpetually clean 2017 Mustang EcoBoost, but that's only because in his words, "it looks more European" and has a turbocharged 4-cylinder. Admit it Leo, we've turned you into a Ford lover. A soft-spoken and gentle soul, Leo is most comfortable behind the camera or at home with his wife, dog, and cat.
- Zach S. - Photographer/Graphic Designer
Zach's love of the outdoors is what inspired him to take up photography, which began after he brought a camera on a family trip to San Diego at the age of 15. Growing up in Las Vegas in a family with a fondness for Fords and off-roading, Zach has a natural affection for the desert and being in the dirt. Aside from photography, his passions include hiking, skateboarding, riding and working on bicycles, and really just anything outdoorsy. He also enjoys bringing really delicious-looking lunches into the office and making everyone really hungry.
- Ryan W. - Photographer
You can generally find Ryan with a camera in hand. A Phoenix native, Ryan has a passion for the outdoors and staying active. Before jumping on the team at Stage 3, Ryan traveled North to attend school at Northern Arizona University, graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Photography and a minor in Communication Studies. Ryan expressed his love for outdoor activities by running on the Cross Country and Track team while enrolled at NAU. Ryan has worked in commercial photography since graduation and practices Astrophotography as a hobby outside of work. Raised in a JEEP family, Ryan has never owned a Ford vehicle (though it’s not out of the question) and drives a black 1992 JEEP Renegade. Everyone in his family drives a JEEP, his father, Kurt, has a 1993 Renegade, and his mother, Karen, drives a 2018 Renegade. Ryan’s dream car is a 1969 El Camino, though he would settle for a Ford Ranger or Toyota Tacoma. So far, the only vehicle Ryan has ever owned is his Renegade, though working at Stage 3 has given him the itch for an off-road truck build.
