Ok so lets really talk K-members here Folks

I have a friend that is an outstanding fabricator. Used to build alot of off road trucks, until the $$$ dried up. He now just builds bumpers. Have been thinking about asking him if he could build a k-member for me. Problem is Jared does not believe in reinventing the wheel. Mentioned to him , a while ago, about the RMS unit and it's price. He did tell me if I could get my hands on one he would be able to reproduce it. Problem is, how to ask someone that has an alter-k if I could "borrow" it for a few months. I also know that if were to do it, the only one that would be relatively inexpensive would be mine, as he charges me $45@hr for fab work, where the "non-bud" price is $90@hr. I very well might buy an alter-k for my Dart one day, and then have him build one for my wifes Valiant. I do agree that we get hosed due to the limited demand. What is sad is that Jared charges a set hourly rate to build his bumpers, whether it be one that he has built 50 of or one that he has built 2 of. The one thing that I do like about the alter-k over any of the others is it has it's own shock mounts. My car does have the upper shock mounts tied into the cage, but I still like the idea of the alter-k's built in shock mounts. Not to change the subject, but go to fat man fabrications and check out the price for his "kit" for a 64 Farilane, it is as much $$$, or real close if I remember right, to the price of the alter-k.
