Thanks man! I caught myself thinking I could've been done with the Jeep had I not moved, but it was worth it

What's the impression with the Cav Fab 3 link? I finally got my RK done, and I absolutely LOVE it.
Well despite not posting here for a while, I haven't been able to get much more work done or drive it a ton. The move took up most of my time as I was painting and making some small updates before the actual move in.

I saw your update. Bet it feels awesome finally driving it. Looks like the RK 3 link flexes great.

Nothing major and mostly due to installing them over stiffeners. I just need to pick up some longer bolts for the side braces and tranny mount.

Side note, I'm not much of a snapback guy, but they were most requested. Finally got these back from the embroiderer. Super happy with how they came out.

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic and don't wear snap backs either or really don't know what a snapback hat is LOL

Killer house man! Loving the build can't wait to see that 3 link in action. I'm considering the Cavfab 3 link for my own when I go long arms

BDS true 4 link was the leading contender. Also was considering full traction, clayton, and B Lee. I found cavfab at the very beginning, saw some samples of their work, and after talking with the owner I was confident enough to take a gamble and order their first kit (after the prototype of course). Mostly due to his commitment to quality and actually seemed like he cared. I also really liked that they used Currie joints. Honestly, I wasn't expecting much and actually thought I'd be let down and disappointed like I have been in the past by other companies. Definitely was not the case obviously. Going to run their steering now too. Just waiting for it to arrive.

Any thoughts on doing the hats in fitted sizes?

Probably won't be able to do fitted honestly. I'd end up losing too much money with sizes that didn't get bought up. It was a pretty sizeable investment in the snapbacks alone, but I'm glad people are loving them. Put a ton of work into it. These hats are doing very well and are nearly sold out after a day and a half so I may do some flexfits and trucker mesh as I've had a ton of requests for those. Might even do a limited beanie run. I've been working on getting my XJ Flag design to work on a hat, but it's not quite ready yet.
