I just bought Nemesis Industries flares, Poison Spyder Rocker Brawler Rear Bumper, Crawler Concepts inner finder liners, and all made in the USA. And I was proud to buy it.

I don't have any of these as a computer is something that is not bought regularly by me but I would definitely look into it for my next one which I don't see being in the near future since I ruse a Mac.
Never heard of any of those and I don't know where I would even buy one from.

There's only a handful of standard wheels (non-beadlocked) made in the US. Black Rock wheels is one of them....

I dropped by their shop today just to snoop around, and look into having them send the fenders out to powder coat. Still on the fence on how I want them done.

I avoid Chinese manufactured products whenever possible, and will pay quadruple the price for items made by a society that has the same standard of living as we do here. (Le Cruest enameled cast iron cookware for example).
When I was a kid, 50's & 60's, the only thing we couldn't produce here was coffee. Those days are gone.
I pay for quality, and I only pay once.

Did not know that... I need to do a much better job at looking into were a product is made. That's my promise.

A lot of Mfgs say " Made in China to our specifications" .

Our hoods are made here in the USA.
