That is all.

I agree. As soon as they put made for the JK, it adds in a couple hundred to the price. Look at sliders, there is made a $100.00 of metal and the want $500+. I know people want to make a decent living, but do they have to make their house payment daily?

True. Especially if you look at the same parts for CJ's or even TJ's they ate usually half to 2/3 the price of JK parts. Guess because everybody wants the stuff and people pay the prices asked. I'm guilty of it...haha. damn I need to learn to fabricate. I've dubbed the JK the click and build jeep because anything you could possibly want is just a click away....haha

It's the same as the answer to the question: Why is divorce so expensive?

BECAUSE IT'S WORTH IT!

The problem isn't that everything costs too much...it's that we don't get paid enough!

It's not called capitalism as much as it is called INFLATION! When the government prints as much money as it has been these last 4 years the dollar goes into the toilet. That raises the price of everything we import especially, such as commodities. Don't blame the messenger (capitalism), blame the government.
