      well, as they have stated, it's really production costs. The longer you film, the more you pay for overall production.
      That said, time can also be shortened if you put in more work. We've seen how much more work low team need to do, but we DON'T see if Low team had to get more people to help which might be the case.

      The other thing that isn't mentioned about looks in the video is how much trail-cred you have for fabricating your own custom stuff. ARB is probably the most common bolt-on bumper. Works great, but is kind of boring in terms of personalization. If you make a good looking bumper and can say "I made it from scratch", that's double dope.

      @@lolsurprises9989 It really does depend on a person, very case by case. For me I pretty much fab everything. I find out quite often what I make is superior to what is bought/available but very focused on a specific application. While manufactured products are made to try and cover everyone's needs in the same product which doesn't always work, but that's just the nature of manufactured products and trying to make as many people as possible happy.
      Despite the the skill and experience I feel that I am very "cost effective" in labour. Some people think they are so valuable in time that they try to justify a very high rate and/or would put off work based on that alone. Honestly in my opinion only, I think people are only worth maybe a quarter of what they say realistically. From my perspective usually that stems from a big ego, or a large chip on their shoulder. Anyway that's what I think.
      With that said, with people in the "I think I can't do that" catagory, they can. And the great thing about us is the ability to want to learn. Building your own stuff is the best teaching/experience tool you can use. My favourite saying goes: How do you build a cage? -Best way is to start fukin up some tubes!

      Most definitely. I've got a project car in my garage and like doing the fabrication myself. I'm only limited by the amount of tools I'd need to make more custom parts. Of course money becomes an issue with both, but ya really can save a boatload of dollars if you're able to do it yourself, as long as you have the tools, time & material. Plus their's more satisfaction in your work when you're fabricating & installing yourself. Hopefully some day soon more project comes together & works great.

      I don't know, the reason servicing cars is so expensive at the shop (at least in my case being a sucker straight 6 BMW driver) is because you're paying for the time an experienced mechanic gets to look at it. In essence you're achieving the reverse. I would rather pay for expertise and medium parts vs. amateurism and top of the line stuff.

      This is true, but ARB is pre-fabbed in warehouses, coastal off-road is typically only a few days to ship since no true fabrication goes into it. 4x innovations I’m sure took a while, and it would’ve been nice to see low truck in completion.

      Smart people would save their money and go straight to Team High. Just gonna waste all of your money buying a cheap car & parts when you can just take your time and save for the good things.

    Low team gets all the credit at the trail. High truck most people would look at and assume daddies money bought it. They are the ones that call for a tow when stuck or something broke. You look at low truck and know that if they break something or get stuck, they probably have the skills to get home under their own power. Hand fab and built with the cheaper parts is literally what going off road is about. You know stuff is going to break, and need fixing. Why spend thousands more than necessary on the same parts.
    Good job, boys.
