I'm not sure how vendors and shows work with hiring space at the shows, but I guess if I was running a show, I'd pick and choose what vendors I wanted at my show. That's not banning anyone that's me picking vendors that will turn turnstiles!
Rays Outdoors, BCF, Supercheap and Annaconda are all owned by the one company.......mostly Chinese crap at over inflated prices!!!

There is a certain magazine that does heaps of comparisons. Unfortunately the long suspected favourtism has become blatantly obvious. I stopped buying that magazine and any from the same publisher 18 months ago.

LMFAO!!!!
Thanks Steve,
I reckon we should have an Industry Magazine that provides it readers with Real World Product testing and Real World comparos without a Commercial Interest in the Outcome!!! Great Idea.
Im sure i used to subscribe to a Magazine that did that!!!

Up until recently all straps were made by one victorian company , now I think they are made overseas.
I've been receiving emails for about a year and a bit about 4wd action under cutting everyone, Now all
the cards are on the table its going to get very interesting indeed.This might shake up the industry. Roothy might realise the 4wd world does not revolve around him.
Sad but true John You have my details

tough one this. Maybe if the bigger 4x4 franchises didn't have the ridiculous mark up on their prices, people would choose to buy there instead of the alternatives.
There are a lot of products, that are identical to the big name brands, (some might even say out of the same factory), that are HALF the price of the brand names.
just sayin

Imagine a 4x4 mag that did Product testing and Comparos where Tigerz gear actually had to stack up against the named brands! WOW!
