[QUOTE="Droid, post: 63300, member: 220"] Really dislike their stuff in general. Their mesh grilles with the surround, i.e.: [ATTACH=full]176059[/ATTACH] [url]http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41u5FqXmabL._SL500_AA300_.jpg[/url] have nothing short of extraordinary prices...i.e.: [ame=http://www.amazon.com/RBP-251113-Black-Studded-Grille/dp/B001TJQPKU]Amazon.com: RBP 251113 RX Series Black Studded Frame Main Grille, (1 Piece): Automotive[/ame] ($1649) It's a mesh grille, with tacky looking studs around a solid perimeter....and of course, *two* RBP logos in it. It seems as though this company has created a fashion trend on the premise that the more money you give to RBP, the cooler you are. I certainly can't fault them for finding a market and exploiting it. The 14" wide, 22"-24" off road wheel thing with narrow low profile tires I just plain do not understand. From reading threads on the internet, I've found that generally the folks that have them have no interest driving them off road, but do still believe them to be off-road capable. Am I the only person left in the world who doesn't find random useless bolt or rivet heads to be impressive? And can someone tell me the point of a 2WD truck with a large lift and a ton of weight on the roof? Typically when an offroad truck costs $95,000 and is 2WD there's a very good reason for it not being 4WD...and in such cases the center of gravity-vs-track tends to be about the same ratio as that of a family sedan. Perhaps the mentioned included "4x4 fog lights" are enough to get you out of trouble? [/QUOTE]
