Looking at smittybilt bumpers, $499 at Quad, $299 at JC..

my whole build comes out WAY cheaper from JC... Wonder why Quad is so much higher on some stuff?

Some stuff? Dude, Q-tec is expensive on EVERYTHING. What they are banking on is that people won't ask them to pricematch.

But they will pricematch so just tell them when you call, they'll give you the lowest price.

I agree with the price match. Just ordered a Mopar carrier for my bumper and shopped around prior. Found it for $95 cheap elsewhere, but Quadratecs Joe price matched it for me with faster shipping and a tracking number. I have ordered from JCWhitney before, but from what I understand they don't have their hands on all their items and not 100% accurate with inventory. Been happy with both, but I will always price match with Quadratec first.

Which bumpers are you looking at? The XRC's seem to be the same price. ..

When I put in the make and model on JC's.. it said $299........? And the price matching is awesome! I'll probably be ordering from them then, when the time comes.

This is why I shop at Northridge. Why should I have to ask for a lower price, after searching for a cheaper price somwhere else. Get the low price from the get go, with free shipping to boot. And if it's backordered, David will tell you BEFORE you order.

The Manufacturer Part #s are the same.
There is a "Classic Bumper" for 299 with no winch plate. Priced the same on both sites.

Which bumpers are you comparing? Everything I'm comparing has the same pricing that we do. I price match competitors shipped prices. Whichever bumper you're looking at I'll match, but most likely I'll be cheaper right off the bat. Other vendors also like to raise their retail prices and advertise free shipping, keep it mind when comparing prices!
