    People (especially on TW) often confuse low price with good value. This sites motto should be, "The more it costs, the better it is."

    Not agreeing with marketing choices is not the same as rating the product you get.

    And Walmart constantly screws over employees, small businesses, the American "Main Street", and is in general a horrible company owned by equally horrible people. Yet people still shop there.

    The point I was making, yes I will spell it out for you, is that I have been dunned on TW for buying 5100's because it's "not a real lift". I have seen other get hammered for finding way to save money as well. You mentioned the cheap snorkel, which I am fairly certain is a chinease knock off of ARB's. But you seem ok with that. Price is the ultimate market driver. People have purchased the bumper and are happy with it, regardless of your opinion on the matter. And in the end, that is all it is. Your opinion.

    So, have you been to the thread with the snorkel to make the same complaints?

    I think I have added a lot by letting other readers know that NOT everyone will hate them because they chose to save some money. Did I buy one? No, but I am considering it.

    They why complain about it? All you have added is that you don't buy rip offs (which all pro already stated that it isn't) and have attempted to discourage others from buying "cheap Chinese knock offs".

    I actually buy from China a lot. I have 26 LED light strips in the bed of my truck that come on when I open any of the three windows. Total cost with shipping? $15. I have no issues buying from China.

    Your right. You don't own one. Have no plans to buy one. Attempts to stop others from buying one.
