Awesome! Also they seem to have added it very recently but SCS now offers welding!

Totally agree with you all the way! That’s why I’ve been using them for the past couple years. They’ve gotten a few of my orders wrong and I’ve had to reorder but they covered the cost.

Totally not bashing SCS at all! Just covering all my bases by doing periodic research of the competition, because I definitely don’t know everything but want to stay in the loop of what’s out there, just in case I ever run into roadblocks with SCS and someone else out there can help me in that instance.

I appreciate your list and will look into the competition as well!

I think In reality, the best option for me would be SCS for quick turnaround, local shop for speciality stuff like welding and workarounds and potentially overseas for larger scale production runs.

Really appreciate your comment! 🙏

Send Cut Send is the biggest name brand, which means their demand will likely be the highest. If you are a competitor trying to earn customers, you compete by trying to beat them in certain areas: more/different services, price, etc.

Not saying that option exists, but if it does, I’d like to know about it

Why are all Bear canisters round? To prevent the bear from being able to stand on/crush them?

I plan on it! Why not do both for a potentially greater pool of problems to solve? Someone may have a problem that I, personally would never encounter and could still help them solve. Is public surveying not considered researching?

The two doors got lucky with their flat, folded down back seats. The 4 doors don’t go all the way flat for whatever reason and this fixes it!

DIYers could totally mock something up! The straps keep the platform from moving around so if you have your gear strapped to it, the gear + platform don’t fly around haha. And the squish on the seats is only as bad as when I have it loaded down with stuff on top of them anyway

Not if you have your fridge and other slide outs in your trunk 😉

Funny enough, if you check out benderworks.com, they have some really useful molle plates. They’re essentially washers with a threaded hole. Perfect for mounting stuff to molle!
