Much more manufacturing would come back if Union workers didn't demand 10x $ to build the same product as the foreign worker. Yes the federal govt could help by lowering taxes on American companies but organized labor wants more and more all the time.


Your comment and from others are insulting and without merit.
Unions are what made America Powerful in the first place!!!!!
I do worry about my kids and the mentality you guys have, if you let corporate get there way
and blame labor cost for everything. You do not understand economics.

All that needs to be done is tariff that crap, two things would be accomplished,
out sourcing would stop and more jobs would come back because there wouldn't be any benefit to go overseas........
If you think any American worker non-union or union can compete with 25 cents and lower hour wages you are out of touch with reality.

SO is it safe to say that you have north of $5K in these? Sickest combo I have seen on any truck btw.

Thanks, thats a great compliment given all the nice looking setups guys have done! They did come out better than I expected. Was alittle nervous about the color, but it works really well with the black truck. I think the invoice was just over 7K for a set of six complete. In fact I like it so much I am doing the same color on a set of method standards I use for my street setup.

I like your tires hate the rims

Glad you like the tires! Thanks. They really hold up well offroad. I have read some of your posts on methods, so far I have not had any issues with the threads. Will watch for that.

If those are real Beadlocks, are they -12 offset?

They are real beadlocks. Sorry buy I dont recall the offset in my current fog after a late night bringing in the new year! Ordered them over a year ago...got them from Outlaw Raptor, I am sure they could give you the setup info. They run them on RSV1 and have installed them on a bunch of trucks.

Obviously being in a union you have some loyalty. I did a paper on unions when I was in college, but this was almost 20 years ago so take it for what it's worth. My objective was to show the pros and cons of being a member in a union. I believe most know the reasons for why unions began #1 was safety for employees, pay/benefits, and some security of having a job. I don't believe anyone would argue this desire since I assume the people buying raptors have jobs. What unions were vs what they have become is the issue. If you think for one minute that if a company wants to move on the union can't stop it. Look at the bakers for hostess who lost there jobs. Unions are nothing more than a political group now. In my experiences only the worthless workers benefit. I live in Northern Indiana and last year the roadwork in my town was held up do to engineers
not happy with a benefits package. That road that was closed caused alot people headaches because of union workers that are sooooo great. Please unions=whiners ....

I'm sure you will be first in line when you find out all the jobs now went to low paying non-insured workers that will continue to drain this country
and you my friend will have to cough up more taxes to pay for them.

That paper you wrote probably missed all that.
