We wern't talking about the whole jeep being made in China. It was the OE parts. For me this would be a issue i would not be to happy about. :yup::yup:

Nothing really new here. This all started in the 80s when international corporations that carried no flag other than profit and shareholder interest trumped the ideal of nationalism. The corporations don't care about where things are made, as long as the dollar/ euro/ yuan is made. It's really sad.
The fact that China is the largest market, has state run manufacturing that the USA out sourced decades ago, is a turning point in economic power. A communist nation is going to win over the free market. They beat us at our own game.
Some will blame Unions, but that's so narrow minded. The problem was placing profit over people.
Now I need a shot of something. It's sad to see this change.

Most OE parts that the middle of the road spender purchases are made in china. Hell, we're a military family the husband and I and we have smittybilt bumpers and a winch.
People are so quick to trash smittybilts products because of where they're made, but our stuff has been pretty great on our rig and we've had no complaints so far.

I am not sure if you get what we were talking about. We are saying original equipment parts off the factory floor.
Imagine that!!!

Jeep is just late to the party. GM & Ford are already there.

Wow I was not saying anything like that at all. I was just not talking about aftermarket parts.

I'll trash it, my rear Smittybuilt bumper is a hunkojunk. Holes drilled wrong for mounting, carrier studs had a thread that couldn't be match up to a lugnut( had to cut them off and install new studs), had to grind my on latch mount out to get it to close, powder coating bubbling and falling off after a month.The damn grease zerk they sent for the swingaway was even the wrong threads. POS!!!!!!!!

Well that's too bad for y'all. We've never had any issues with our stuff or its installation.

The powder coating on my D rings started chipping off after a couple days and no use. But that's the only smittybilt stuff I have on my rig.
