What pisses me off is how quickly the Jeep aftermarket manufacturers have stuff for the JK and how ungodly slow the aftermarket has been to produce anything other than bling for the H3. I've had my H3 for a year now and there really is only 2 lifts out there and the stupid JK already has double that out. The other thing is that stuff for the H3 is approximately double the cost of similar stuff for the JK. What gives?
Why does this bother me? Well, I stand firmly behind the fact that the H3 is the best stock vehicle for off-roading. But I also know that anybody that is into off-roading doesn't leave their vehicle stock... including me! I know the interior of the JK isn't anywhere as nice as the H3, but why have a nice interior if your Rancho lift beats the hell out of you? Why jump up to 35's or 37's if you need to bring a box of replacement parts for the front end every time you offroad? I'm not wanting a new JK, but waiting for the aftermarket to kick in is really cheesing me off!!!

I agree 100%. I've said as much on here an been beat up pretty badly. I think the aftermarket guys pretty much identified their market that H3 owners (remember, I'm talking market majority) like to spend too much. Look at the skid plates for the shocks and the roof racks. They're stupidly overpriced. I guess it's H3 owners fault for responding to them with their credit card number (and then trying to defend the decision by whoopin' up on anyone that says they paid too much). It's an absolute shame that Amstar's going through the stealership because of the gross markup. I'm votin' with my feet on this issue. Amstar can keep their stuff. I'll either be making my own or waiting for a reasonably priced third party (or waiting for ebay deals). It's one thing for someone to call you stupid by offering a part that just because it's for an H3 cost double what it would for a jeep or toy, it's quite another to prove it by buying it.
$1000 roof racks and $200 shock skid plates are ridiculous and they won't be reasonably priced until we make 'em so.
