ooooooohhhhhh the truth will be exposed!!

And what does "they made their bed they can lie in it" mean? Are they trying to suggest that the show organisers are in some way going to pay for their decision?? hmmmmmm........

I think that the problem is that there is no inbetween market anymore. All the jobs we do at work are either for companies who can't afford stuff all, or for a big company that says "these are the standards required, how much will it cost? Ok we will pay."

Maintenance schedules in industry have become so tight. As my companies primary business is boilers, the law requires that they be serviced at certain industries, so these are carried out. Yet we also service associated equipment. 80% of the time the 'Service" is a quick temporary repair to 'get them out of trouble until they can repair it properly' 70% of the time the temporary repair becomes permanent.

I am sick of doing a job that is crap because the customer can't afford the correct materials and enough time to do it properly. I am sick of replacing a part knowing full well that it will be dead in 12 months because of poor quality. I try to take pride in my work, but when when you are told to do it as cheap as possible, that is quite hard to achieve.

Now I know this has nothing to do with 4wding, Tigrez11 or roo systems, but it is related.
They have come in at the bottom of the market, selling to people who really can't afford it. As such, they have offered what is very appealing to every industry, and person. More for less. All that now matters is the $ figure that comes out of your pocket today. They have not got quality materials, they have not put enough time into labour, and the result is failure 12 months down the track.

But back to my point. there is no middle market. They have all shut down. because people who have the cash and do a bit of reaserch will go for the high end items. Like ARB. People who were saving for a middle order item opted to go for cheaper because they couldn't afford top end, and cheaper meant getting said item today, instead of a few months down the track. It looked the same as middle order, obviously not quite top end, but the price difference is enough to sway you. The middle market dies because it is undercut. Unfortunately, this is where all the bargains where to be had. From what I have seen, this is where Great Southern Camping is aiming. And I think before to long it will take off as people realize that it is where to put your cash.

My 2c - please don't disregard it because I'm young.

Cheers!

Hahaha, just saw that too

OFFROADING MAGAZINE - Roothy and the crew at 4WD Action have posted a video stating Tigerz 11 have been banned from the upcoming Melbourne 4x4 Show.
"Roothy, you are an icon of 4WDing in Australia with many people looking up to you and supporting your great causes. You have and are doing a lot of great work for the offroading cause. However, you have really stuffed up this time because you DO know that the content of the video is factually incorrect. It is un-Australian to misconstrue the facts for your own advantage and to the disadvantage of exhibitors who actually booked a space at the show. Restore you honour and great image and retract your misconstrued video."

Offroading Online Magazine has an affiliation with the Melbourne 4x4 Show in that we are paid by Tony Whateley of the Loveday Extreme Team to take photographs of his event as well as the show in general.


4WDTV - Most reputable 4x4 accessory companies have pulled out of the magazine, if roo and tigerz are not at the 4x4 show it is another positive step forward for an industry that is under attack from a greedy and misguided organisation. Roothy's video has been a massive flop...the backlash is widespread and it has highlighted some of the hidden truths about their actions. It is un Australian to import cheap, inferior and dangerous Chinese copies. It is also un Australian to label reputable Australian companies who spend millions locally on R&D, design, testing, manufacturing and employ thousands of Australians as un Australian...wake up people! Who has the industry turned against? Who is flooding the market with inferior and cheap copy product? Who has a financially vested interest in 2 of their advertisers? Who is swapping ad space for profit without paying the appropriate tax and GST? Which advertising platform is now a retailer...a conflict of interest? Unethical, unfair, unreasonable, illegal...and un Australian!



...but it gets better after that.....lol

Last time I subscribed to 4WD Action, I was to get a free toolkit. It took 5 months to show up and then after its second use out on the track the ratchet in the socket driver didn't work.......
Total rubbish. Got a roll to wrap up my decent tools with though, shame its got Roothys bonce on it!
