We can still build them. It's more a matter of having time than ability. We got our plates pretty full and it's harder than you think to find good fabricators. In any given large city you can find a thousand lawyers that make 100-300 dollars an hour but finding 50 good fabricators in the same size population is nearly impossible. We're in a small mining town so it's worse. To attract a welder with potential we must compete with the mines that start around 20~25/hr depending on experience and move to 29.00 pretty quickly. They offer benefit package equal to about 10/hr. That's for a basic, slap it together welder. I need that and someone who can make changes on the fly and understands the application and how it works in an off road environment. There's one guy like that in ten or twenty welders. At the mines they would be foremen or project managers. A fair market value for that is over 50.00 an hour but this industry won't support that cost so we find those that do it because they love Land Cruisers and trucks. The Land Cruiser lovers are an aging group and our ice age is coming
There are 16 individual pieces in each flare. Conservatively they're 750.00 a pair. There are three people here. Of the three myself and Greg could build these.
They're finished in a textured black powder
