Black

Put me down for Black. I don't care for the Doo gas can or bag. This is the way to go!

I'll be back with some answers to all the questions in an hour or so.

The initial colors I plan on stocking are:
1) Powder coated: black and red
2) We will have raw aluminum too
3) We can anodize black, blue, red, and clear. We can also do multi-color splash anodizing, which would go with some of the wraps.

I am working on getting these back in stock and to get pictures up of various colors. If there are other colors desired let me know, we can do custom colors too. It just might take a week or so longer.

Regarding a waiting list, I would be happy to start a list. We have been in the manufacturing business for nearly 25 years, but to be honest we are new to the e-commerce website thing, and there is a thing or two I need to work out so back-orders could be placed online without charging your card. I would prefer not to charge anyone until they are ready to ship.

So you can either send a message on the website or here saying you want one. There is always the option of calling too, the number is on the website but it is 406-827-4694. For those who have already said as much there is no need to repeat it as I will look back through the thread and notify you.

We will have plenty in stock shortly ( a week, two weeks max) I am a bit late getting these going this fall but we are used to manufacturing quite high numbers of products and don’t anticipate these will push our capacity.

Thanks for the feedback LoneViper, nice to hear from you again. Hopefully we’ll get some snow this year, I’m getting tired of smelling smoke all summer.

That is a difficult question to answer because each is better in different ways. Both can be scratched and chipped by hard objects like metal or rocks. Anodizing can fade if left in the sun for an extensive time, for snowmobiles that are mostly covered or kept inside it's probably not an issue. I would call it draw overall.

Anodizing looks more metallic and you will still see that the sides are machined. Although the process of anodizing isn't the same, on raw machined parts that haven't been vibratory tumbled or bead blasted it will have a translucent quality similar to a nicely polished and blued firearm. The powder coating as you probably know is opaque and thicker and pretty well will hide all of the machine marks.

Snow and ice will probably stick to the anodized surface more than the powder coating. I doubt it would be much of an issue most of the time.

Chris, you're on the list. Thanks.

Very nice job!!!!!!! I will take one too! sent message to your business! THINKSNOW!

Mountain_Man · Sep 30, 2015

Thanks 4nite, I received your message and sent a reply.

Devilmanak · Sep 30, 2015

I don't remember, if there is a choice, p-coat for me. Black. Machine marks are nice, I used to have a business cutting aluminum rc car parts and there is nothing sexier than endmill marks, but my sleds spend a lot of the winter on the sled deck, as I ride so often, and anno would probably look pretty bad after a while.

The bottom is 1/8" reinforced with 1/2" rods, the sides are about .35".

Paid Friday, shipped Friday, here Tuesday.
I am excited to keep that bag off my tunnel this year, be able to swap it between sleds and bring it inside after riding without having to screw with those plastic clips!

Devilmanak · Oct 20, 2015

Oh, and coming from someone who ships things for a living: Very professional packing, rack in bubble wrap, in a properly fitting box with good packing. Nice.

Mountain_Man · Oct 20, 2015

Nice to see that it made it there intact.

Devilmanak · Oct 20, 2015

Not a ding on the box.

Biggest challenge was getting wife to remember to bring it home from her salon.
