What Seat Covers are you looking at? Short of Katzkin or PRP both of which seem pretty high end, I can't find anything that comes close to that $1000 price on line. Both the above brands are high priced for any vehicle. I did find a bunch of sub $500 though.
Welp...there you have it folks. The mystery is solved. There's absolutely no effin way the real Rick Astley has pipes (biceps not vocal chords) like these. Someone call the vet!! Those puppies are sick!Agree completely.
This would probably make @cclkramer have a brain aneurism, literally die as he reads this or at least eyes physically flying out of his sockets, but you can actually acquire the tooling and materials necessary to do something for yourself.
Your example above is great! Plasma cutter has TONS of uses if you've got projects to do.
I wanted shop work benches capable of supporting 2,000 lbs but didn't want to spend over $2,000 each to buy them.
So I can build a long block (Motor and transmission) together without having to bend over. I went out and got a welder, safety gear, raw materials, tools and equipment, and learned how to make some shop tables. Next up will be floor-to-ceiling industrial shelving to hold palletized engines and also bin storage.
Total price to build these two benches (12 linear feet long) was about $3,500 if I never use any of the equipment again. Note, that's a cost savings over buying 2 benches of this total length.
Cost for floor to ceiling shelving will be cost of materials only, ~$800 (did you know metal prices have gone up since 2019???????), so there's HUGE cost savings in doing this myself.
Certainly not a professional fabricator or welder, but i'm learning
Outside to let the metal coatings dry
Now your talking. Something rugged, decently made and priced. I've only seen pictures .Hardly any trustworthy reviews. Something recommended from our group. Thanks
That's where I am. Not buying. I have a few things on my radar but not a lot of money to burn. I'll just wait for the competition to catch up.
Curious, why didn't you get Badlands with washout interior?
That is what I have. The seats are really nice marine grade material. My truck is optioned out with everything. The seats are too nice. Looking to preserve them. My dogs with toenails and grandkids the seats dont stand a chance.
Oh ok, because you haven't changed your account from Wildtrak. The toe nails, yeah. I can see that. What about cages?
It's like anything else in this country- Greed. Plain and simple. People see a new market, and pounce at the opportunity to price gouge. Age-old thing, really. As long as capitalism has existed. The "ooh, cost for this, cost for that"people are using that as an excuse to gouge customers for $$$ (5% of all this garbage (the other 5% is actually OF high quality) is massively over-inflated, gouged prices.
āitās cost money to ship those materials to these manufacturers...just fuel price increases alone should easily increase costs over 2 years ago
. Cant imagine why prices keep going up? Pretty soon theyll have 96 month loans.
