There's only one answer for that, greed.

As soon as one starts a business, they want to be rich yesterday and they take the attitude that only they sell an item.

This is my opinion from the experience of dealing with said business'.

Where did you get your washer bottle?

I wouldn't be so quick to say greed is the factor, when comparing to say the USA or UK general overheads like rent, insurance and wages are a lot higher here.

For example the minimum wage in the UK is something like $10 AUD, the USA is $7 AUD per hour, whereas in Australia it is $16 per hour.

Straight away that is a 60% - 120% increase over those countries just in minimum wages.

At the end of the day, if the general population receive a pay increase each year that money has to come from somewhere and it has a flow on effect to every item we purchase or lease or rent etc.

If we want to pay less for items then everything has decrease including our wages, comparatively what we pay is probably proportional to what we earn in Australia.

Thanks Chris, you have made up my mind. I was tossing up between the flat dog and LRA flares. I have LRA flares on the Rangie and they do look good, but are brittle and I am often doing repairs on them. But after seeing how good they look on the Disco I will get them.

Chris, was that an XROX bar I could see. If so, could we see some pics of it.

I had planned to get. Shadow bar from First Four Offroad, but have found out you have to remove the crush cans to fit it and I am not sure how much this will affect the airbags.

Not a problem, here you go.
