Just wanted to make it clear that I wasn't being literal with my worth comment. Didn't mean to offend anyone with the value of their trucks as I know for myself personally and others, they are priceless (well, almost, I'll entertain a nice offer <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" /> ).

I see where some people are coming from with the 1st gen owners having their rigs paid off and now having money to spend on more expensive mods, but what I've gotten from the board is the majority of those building bumpers for themselves are 1st gen owners.

My whole point with my 'essay' was simply to say, the Isuzu community has been notorious cheapskates as far as all aftermarket parts offered to them. Not saying everyone, but as a majority, people are looking for the cheapest way to do things even if it isn't the prettiest/best. With that in mind, it's my opinion that the newer vehicles owners would be more willing to spend the money on a bumper. And that the newer vehicles will have a more lasting market as more and more of the 1st gens end up in the junkyard. This becomes a whole different case with other mods though so don't read into it too much <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

:edit: and it looks like this little poll might be proving me wrong so maybe i should keep my mouth closed <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
