    Lets set aside the issue about the company allegedly buying an All Pro bumper and deconstructing it. One thing it did expose was the bullshit claims that bumpers have to be expensive because of the design process. This company has made a bumper thats reportedly of good quality for far less than the competition. Yes they did not have to invest in R&D like All Pro but be realistic here. Its a fuggin bumper, not a space shuttle. We have seen people on TW make their own bumpers in their garages and some have looked fantastic. They didnt mention half a million dollars in R&D in their threads because they didnt spend that. No we shouldnt award companies that steal designs but we also shouldnt ignore when they expose over priced items either.

    You'll have to read and find out.

    I hope you're okay, and the deer is in the freezer.





















    Spoiler: yes, they fit ok.

    Right? Why couldn't they at least rip off a good looking bumper?

    no labor laws in China. They can sell them so cheap because their employees can make as little as 19$ a week. We have laws here that prohibit that. The other companies we buy stuff from have to pay their employees so their prices go up etc etc. When you are in SW Asia you can sell anything for whatever price you want because you have little overhead and a LIMITLESS workforce.

    That is true and anyone who wants to argue that can try and tell me that an MTech knife from Ebay will work as well and as long as a Benchmade knife. If they did at that point we would all know they don't know anything.

    Yeah haha, maybe I shouldnt even be in this thread, but I am not here to sell my stuff, people who are thinking about buying these bumpers never would anyway because their only concern is price. Can't knock em for that, everyone sets their own bar. But I do have to chime in when people think we are overcharging. They dont own a business that has a competitor in China obviously or they wouldn't even say stuff like that. It is non-sense. I was stationed in SW Asia and can tell you many of the factory workers slept in small boxes or huts or bags outside the factory and made just enough to buy a Banana or some shit. Thats why the company can always beat prices, because they dont care about their workers and they dont have to pay them.

    I really wish you guys made a rear bumper with a dual swingout :( :boink: Saving up my pennies to finally get a high clearance rear when tax season comes. If i don't get my rear bumper from you guys Im definitely getting the front hybrid (unless the plate bumpers go on sale)

    We are planning on it eventually, we have just had a lot of growing pains and set backs lately. This next year will hopefully be a big year for product release.
