Absolutely correct ......
Even brand new off the showroom cars can be and have been damaged before or during dealership delivery
Not like the people unloading from the docks give a hoot
So even something new mite be different in some measurements between a few rigs .....
IF a rear bar,bullbar is done in a minimal movement jig,theres a good chance that within 100 from that jig , 99.9 % will be exactly the same
If the parts are pre cut on an CNC machine the tolerance within 100 bars will be 99 % correct
I worked at a panel beaters way way back when 80 % of their work were new pre delivered cars
Now with the materials used, anyone thought of it costs more to build than material alone ...
Advertising,companiy cars, workers wages,compo,sickies,liability insurance issues both public on premises and product,power,tools, consumables, rents
If the bars in total out the door cost 300 and someone charged 5 K,thats a rip off,not saying it costs that less or even 4999 to make
But huge events sponsored by huge companies come from somewhere,you as the consumer generate profits that some companies spend on events
So next time you see a full page add in a magazine, a 3 minute add on telly,massive billboards around the place,youll see where the ,what some call,massive mark up goes
One of my mates just shut shop,as he wasnt making money
Council charged him a fee of a few grand a year for his billboards,air/space tax or whatever they called it, then paid the land owner an amount a year for it to be there
Then payed 4500 a month for a small yard,around 800 sqm ,plus all overheads,power,fone,insurance,security ect on top
No wonder smaller backyard operations are doin stuff cheaper,they dont wear the overheads
true there clunky, i recently purchased a part for my car that was i assume plasma cut and it did not quite line up so i had to slightly grind it down to get the holes to line up, the other side went on perfectly, but as my patrol is a 2004 who knows whats happened previously or if indeed it was a monday morning car.
Spot on 3D. At the end if the day, they have the best product at a price people are prepared to pay.
As a sales exec, that's my job to maximise the profit for the business through maintaining sales margins as high as possible. We sell a premium product with plenty of backup and have many satisfied customers who pay more than what somebody else might for a different product, comfortable that ours won't fail (unlike some of the competition).....kinda like buying insurance.
If Kaymar can get away with charging what they do, good luck to them. Personally, I will be putting a Milweld on the back of my GQ when it comes time as I'm not prepared to pay Kaymars price.....but then it doesn't appear like they need my business anyway.

This joint reminds me of another dodgy place that's selling second rate 4by stuff. Hmm, Tigerz...
bundy dave thought i would throw up some pics of the new bar from milweld eng for you to see
I like the jerry holders Adrian, I should have got one of the milweld bars but I can't complain I got my bumper replaced under insurance but you have done well mate looks great
No thats not correct. We specialise in custom floats. Most of our floats are different from one to the next. The only thing the same is the widths. The lengths vary depending on how many horses, the axle positioning varies on the type of horses being towed weight etc, divider widths vary, divider heights vary, some have padding, some don't, some are telescopic and fully adjustable, window varies in sizes and postioning, floor height variations depending on alloy or hardwood, some have several cupboards, microwave, kitchen sinks, TVs, beds, roof racks, some have barn doors, some have tail gates, some have slide out ramps. We also set the draw bar towball weight to customers requirements be setting the axles up to suit. Not to mention the amount of prep work and sealling that goes into these floats prior to painting.
So you can see why I think these bars are a total rip off when we can build something with 20 times the amount of work and R&D for a little over double the price of a rear bar. $5000 is a total rip off any which way you look at it.
Cheers Mick.
