Ken, Have you checked your own web site recently? I just checked and it clearly says "Bulli Bar Bumper- Front-$1399 (Black, Powder Coated) Discontinued" and "Projektzwo Rear Bumper (Black, Powder Coated)- $899.00 (Discontinued)". Sure, it looks like you are offering an American made alternative, but is it made to the same standards (I'm NOT American bashing here!)? Two things can look the same, but be made to very different standards when you take into consideration type of steel, gauge, quality of the welds, etc. The reason I bring this up is that you specifically reference the Projektzwo name where you are trying to sell an imitation product. The Projektzwo folks probably wouldn't be too happy about this. I'll be the first to admit that the American made alternative you offer could be every bit as good, if not better, than the discontinued PZ units, but please try to be careful when representing your products. I think we have all had disappointing experiences with look alike products. Generic toilet paper just ain't the same as Charmin. Just because the PZ bull bar survived an antelope doesn't mean that your generic (which the American units basically are, who knows who is making these bumpers and to what standard?) bars will do the same. Just my two cents. Bruce
