Thread: is this quote reasonable

I paid around $5k for a Kaymar colour coded and a Long Ranger tank. I was quoted around $2.5k for a Painted ECB bar.

Mine cost $1600 from the local 4wd shop. I fitted it myself.

Retail parts you are probablly talking $8k plus on their own. I would think about shopping around though and asking do I really need LED Spotlights, they cost a bucket on their own, maybe upt to $2k, say $1200-$1500 for the LR tank, $2500 for the Kaymar rear bar, $1600-$2500 for the ECB bar, dont know a cost for a mitch hitch, but if you are talking a tow bar maybe $700-800 so the parts alone will be the bulk of this. The labour component is probablly only $2k to $2.5k.

I didn't have one fitted.

Snake Racing lists a Rigid Industries 20in LED flood/spot combo at $800

Kaymar quoted me the rear bar with spare wheel carrier colour coded at $3500 supply & fitted

Gahhhh! I hate that term. Colour matched, yes. Coded, no!

Not unless the colour means something like those on resistor colour code bands which tell one the resistance value.

So a red bar means the car is faster? Green means you are envious of other cars? Blue indicates you are sad that you bought a Landie?
