Default About Buying Chinese Goods for Your Jeep

China is not our friend. I know AEV and Warn and Shrockworks and many other U.S. manufacturers are expensive. But they aren't hacking into our federal, military and intelligence computer systems for who knows what purpose. If you can't afford American-made, at least don't buy Chinese. You are funding their military.

Amen. I try to avoid it. Having said that, I'm sure I'm guilty by not researching for COO. I've been making a effort to get better info on a product before pulling the trigger.

I believe some of AEV's shit is made in China as well as some Mopar stuff on Jeeps. Please correct me if i'm wrong.

I've been saying this shyt from day 1 and have even taken fire for it......and I'm part Chinese LMFAO. Time to update my Commie China / USSofA thread in "anything & everything."

I've only scratched the surface....Kill the mind, kill the body, then kill the soul.

Btw, AEV's wheels are made in China.

While we're at it, don't forget about the members of BIG BROTHER GUBMINT that have been working back deals with the fascists and communists.

Sorry to Inform you, but a lot of parts on the JKs are Made In China. Your factory alloy wheels, Made in China right on them. Many parts, long made in the USA! have been outsourced to China. The fine print says "made in China" on a astonishing and disturbing number of parts in our JKs.
Greed is NOT good, and the backlash in terms of Quality Lost is beginning to be felt.
