A list of American companies we need to be buying from to help them survive

Chris said:
Also, if you’re going to purchase anything on Amazon whatsoever, help out this website by making the purchases through Amazon links on this forum so I can keep it running.

See this thread:

I am not kidding when I say I’ve already taken a hit 😐

That's the problem with these kinds of lists.

I've always felt the purpose and use of a list like this is to support small businesses here in the US that support us. People like Matt at UCF and Robert at Dirtworx aren't large companies that leverage production facilities overseas to cut costs. They make these things here. Companies like Rokmen have the CNC machine on site. Of course the gas in our tank may come from Iraq and the steel may come from China but these guys make the product here and that's worth some consideration. If you don't see the value simply don't use the list.

I make an effort to buy quality stuff where I can. That is what I try to support. Lists like this, while well intentioned, do little to inform my choices.

Honestly, I think all small businesses around the world need sales to stay around right now. Not to say that I don't enjoy supporting US made but supporting local alone isn't going to cut it.

Unless they changed things, RockJock 60 Extreme (previously known as VXR) are forged in the USA.

I thought it was kinda clear that companies like Warn that do some here and some overseas aren't really worth "special" consideration. After all Smittybilt makes some things in the US.

Is this really difficult for people to understand? Maybe move on from this thread if you don't have some good companies to suggest or companies that we should reconsider.
 
Speaking of forged, add TrailReady beadlocks to the list. Those guys went through a lot of hassle the last few years to keep making their wheels in the USA.

You do realize that your Jeep was also made with a lot of globally sourced parts, right?

How is that any different than saying Currie can't be on the list because they source some parts globally? Somebody needs to make a rules sheet for this thread and then adapt it into a flow chart because I'm struggling to follow.
