I have to blow off some steam about this subject, and wondering how many other people feel the same way. Im someone who goes out if there way to buy American made products, whether it be a $1500 bumper or a pack of underwear..i look for made in the USA. This also means that Im willing to pay more $$$ for whatever it is. The problem is that Im continually let down with the quality, and attention to detail. I paid through the ass for my rear bumper/carrier to support a newer US company..and I'm given a product that had about half the hardware supplied with it that the install required, and it had a weld break when I was 300 miles from home, leaving me with a very tense drive home because I was wondering when I would have 100lbs of wheel/tire come off and crash through someone's windshield. I called the owner of the company, and sent him pics of the break and he was horrified. He did right by sending me s whole new arm, but when I got it, i discover that its unusable because they failed to install the bushing where it hoes onto the spindle. Are you f$$%$$g kidding me?! This rant had been brought on by stuff like this continually happening. EVERY jeep product I've ordered online has had some sort of issue, usually being that they're short on hardware on for installation. It's a HUGE pain in the ass to have to run to the hardware store everytime and try and find the correct stuff yo finish the install. 5 year olds in Chinese sweatshops can count to 10, why can't our companies in the USA seem to do it??? Im to the point where I might avoid US made products, and look for a "made in China" label and save some $$$$. Am i the only one who has had this kind of experience?? And, believe me, I'm not a guy who bitches about everything..its taken A LOT to push me to this point.
