even more concerned after I post the pictures of the excellent quality rear ladder bar that I got for $95 and had powdercoated locally for an extra $40. While I understand your position, I would be foolish as a consumer NOT to look at a product that costs soooo much less than the original. While I am willing to pay extra for a top quality American made product, it is very hard as a consumer not to consider other foreign made products that are similar in quality but costs MUCH less. If I remember correctly, this is how the entire import automobile, specifically Japanese automobiles, got so popular in the US.
