Yeah did someone miscalc the margins on these prices. Seems everything is 30-50% higher than it should be.

"Me too" products with an extremely high price. If your products are that much better to justify the price, you may want to explain that in your product descriptions. I need help understanding the pricing compared to your competitors.

only took me 10 seconds, better price than the BB tie rods shield junk for sure.

That price bothers me so much more every time I think about it. You could by Lobo's for 225 or something that they design stuff like it's going into an actual war. Your truck would fold in half before those bent.

Just crazy.

I bet dollars to donuts those shocks are just regular ass fox shocks with zero changes and a fancy sticker or something.

Geez fellas, I’m disappointed in these releases.

I totally support and am a fan of Vaughn and Loren; hell, I wear Vaughn’s Fun Haver t-shirt all the time.

But…..

Just a little business advice, you guys got an overdose of bad business advice. Meaning, there obviously was no one in the room to tell you ”no” or question things, or just flat out say it’s a bad idea.

Guess you’re going for the cosmetic rich owners, but be careful with that crowd, as they are loyal to nothing but themselves and you’ll sell far fewer products which drive up production costs over time and lower profits.

If you were priced (at market), based on your names and fame alone, you’d sell a ton of product.

With these prices, I doubt you move much inventory in 6 months once the churn and burn crowd are gone.

Contrary to popular belief, the Bronco is an off-roader for the common man. These other guys will soon get tired of the bugs and dirt if they actually go wheeling, others will tire of the wind noice, lack of cup holders, and ride, then will head back to the golf courses.

The common man are who watch Ultra4, are your fans, and would be your customers. Here, you‘ve turned them off and that‘s that.

Good luck fellas, but not with these parts and prices.

The eloquence . . . "Lack of cup holders!" Lots of disappointment here . . . I guess I'm lucky to only off-road on the beach with 33" tires, and not need any of those upgrades. Someday, I'd love to get out west and experience some of those wide-open spaces y'all post photos of.

Fun Haver marketing dept probably was wondering why nobody was buying their overpriced products and the solution was bronco6g post.

You guys are missing the point. Check out metal tech’s rear bumper post for how to market to bronco owners. Be part of the community rather than perpetuating the bronco tax we are all sick and tired of.

Having said that, I’m a huge fan of both Loren and Vaughn, but you should really think deeply about how you connect with this community next.

Are you talking about Metal Tech’s $4k rear bumper? 🤣🤪

Yeah, that’s not happening for me either!!!! For me, I am done modifying my Bronco. Too expensive as the Bronco tax seems to go up more and more.

The OEM stuff is good enough for anything that I am going to do here in the North East and more than enough for 99% of the Broncos out on the road.

I already feel that way about the other brands - clever solutions or not, hundreds of dollars for things like a thin 2'x4' piece of sheet metal with a thin powder coating to mount something like a traction board or something is ridiculous. I understand the volume isn't that high, but it's the same with many Jeep products - it's insane.

"Fun Haver" had early access to the Bronco and support from Ford that legit no other 3rd party vendor had and you guys "kick the door" open late in 2023 with basically rip off products at a 175% mark up?

Holy shit am I disappointed I ever watched Loren and Vaughn with any kind of admiration.

This is sad.
Bingo. Y'all have been there from before release talking about "Fun-Haver Off Road" products coming soon. What you've got for sale currently appears to offer nothing new and nothing informed by early and in-depth access to the platform.

Is there more coming that will actually be innovative? If there is, you might want to hurry up.
