Hahahaha

Oddly, that's how friends got their third child.

If someone can't afford the real deal ARB locker, does that mean then they have no moral right to have any kind of locker despite the fact there is a cheaper possibly inferior one available that they can afford?

I think this is why people buy Supercheap gear instead of OL gear or ARB gear. I personally never had any intention of a Locker but if it was cheap enough then the thought does cross my mind.

I have a moral high horse I sit on for downloading illegal music and movies, but I don't preach it. It's just a personal thing I believe in.

The issue is the blatent copying of an existing product. In the case of the locker, right down to copying ARB's packaging and then including a copy of the ARB instructions, with their logo on, which are copyrighted.
If it was just the choice of buying a cheaper locker then it's a different issue.

When ARB post the videos of their tests of the Chinese lockers on YouTube everyone claims it was a 'set up'.
ARB can't win.......

it can be tough maintaining our hobbies whether it be 4wding, mtbing, fishing, model planes etc etc.........

I try and buy genuine good quality gear that is value for money, sometime if have to make a compromise.......if I couldn't afford say and arb locker I would probably go an auto locker first than the copy last...bless the previous owner of my rig who install front and rear arb lockers

each to their own and spend your hard earnt dollars which ever way you want.

Blame ARB for making such a good product I suppose.

IN all seriousness some people just can't foot their bill so will look for other options, that can't be stopped I guess.
