Sign me up for the beanie. **** snapbacks. Love the design, hate the hat style. Flexfit, I'd do that as well.

What about licensing your logo for limited runs?

Flex fit would be a great idea though, and if you did a fitted either 7 1/4 or 7 1/2 would work and I bet they would sell out

Side note: did any of you guys catch the JCR Colorado wheeling "documentary" . Aside from it being an awesome video, there were several Jeepology cameos in there. Was so pumped to see them wearing my stuff.

LOL trust me, I'm not a snapback guy at all either. Doing them first though will allow me to start offering other styles. I'm leaning towards beanies next along with maybe a small flexfit run. Are you guys diggin the grey or prefer the simple black?

Flex will happen for sure and while I agree those sizes would sell, you wouldn't believe the amount of complaints I'd get for not offering more sizes. I pride myself on answering just about every message I can, but that would not be a fun one to deal with. Just not worth the hassle at this point honestly.

Haven't been there in a while actually, but I plan on several trips to CO when I finish the build. I have a buddy that lives there in CO springs. He runs Eggleston Munitions.

I'm good with a beanie, flexfit, and trucker mesh.... really REALLY love trucker mesh flexfit... my STP trucker mesh flex fit is like my go-to hat. I like to wear my hats backwards a lot so the whole adjustable thing is not really my style.

I like 'em both honestly. I would probably have one of each though because wearing black on your head here in the summer time is like sticking your head in a campfire.

Build is amazing. I need to pick up some of your products. On the off chance, do you have a file for the switch panel you printed with the 3D printer? I have a printer and thats exactly what Im looking for

Ok so not the big 3 link post yet, but I did finally figure out one of the remaining pieces to the puzzle. I found a set of 5 AEV Pintler beadlocks that I picked up over the weekend. 4 hour drive, but worth it. Been wanting a set of these for a while now. They have some rock rash, but aren't too bad unless you are really close. Might powdercoat them or I might leave them. Haven't decided yet. Now that I bought new wheels I need new tires... again lol. The MTRs that came on these wheels have some life left, but I'm going to replace them. They are also 37s. Question is, should I got with MTRs as usual or maybe try something new like the Nitto Trail Grapplers or Cooper STT Pros?
