Would love to see a place local that could make custom length stainless brakelines while you wait.

The number of side by sides are growing, you might consider being a dealer for the aftermarket parts for them. there are a lot that want custom tube work done for the cage, bumpers, rocker/leg tenders, and a couple even have bed guards on them.

I'm not a small business owner but would think the only practical items to carry in stock would be the very universal low priced items. Tow straps and other recovery gear, maybe some lights, etc... There are just way too many variables in most items that I would think it would be hard to keep a large enough varierty in stock. Plus, not like somebody is going to randomly swing by the shop and decide to grab an $500 item during an impulse buy very often, but they might grab a $50 tow strap or the like.
