    they are virtually the same product. literally the same bushings and washers you guys supply. fitment was excellent. welds were excellent. they even visually look the same besides the laser cut logos.

    I forgot to specify, I did post on here awhile ago about the first one I made.

    It's for my bike rack. My high clearance bumper recovery points interfere with my swingout so with this hitch i can mount the swingout under the bumper, it keeps the truck shorter, and I don't have to move my license plate.

    I would never put anything heavier than my bike rack on it, if I pull a trailer I will just use the hitch in the normal fashion.

    They’re not the same washers, they include the wrong size for the bottom of the tube. Which creates a rubbing noise inside of the tube. Their frame plate doesn’t fit the frame as well since they removed bends and we must have difference definitions of excellent weld quality:D

    Similar in looks is far different than identical. Just my .02. But it’s a free market! People will go with the good marketing.

    You’re correct. I’m primarily a one man shop and production keeps me plenty busy but I am looking to open up installations here in the next few months again after things settle with the new shop. Currently laying on a not so comfortable hospital couch. My wife and I had our first boy last night! So that’ll be another change :D

    I know your pain first hand, I used to help out at a dyno shop - he was a one man band as well, never enough hours in a day and attempting to keep everyone happy was impossible.

    Congratulations to you and your family, hopefully everyone healthy and adjusts quickly

    I have been a busy little bee this past week or so with installing a lot of goodies.

    1. Installed the MESO interior dome and map lights (no pic).
    2. Changed out the vent rings and control knobs with cavalry blue from MESO. Changed out the push start and radio knobs from AJT.

    What is AJT? A larger cup holder but in black if they have it would be of interest to me.

    My days of crawling under vehicles to wrench on things or change the oil are over.
    But, my wife and I have a lanolin-based product applied to the underside yearly as we live in NYS where salt is both mined and used heavily on the roads.
    Here's a video from a DIY person. This guy's dedication to application is impressive.

    Looks exactly like the 4WP rock sliders I got on their liquidation sale. Perhaps the design was purchased by another vendor and just cut their own design in place of the 4WP logo? Anyway, I quite like mine; especially at the price of like, $299 shipped to my door on the liquidation sale last year! $1400 seems a little steep for this style to me, I'd probably go with the Cali Raised 20 degree at that price!
