Dan Riggs said:is that basically nobody has heard of them. I'm constantly checking out new web sites, advertising etc. dealing with 4x4 equipment and have spent thousands of $$$ (oops, wife's looking) HUNDREDS of $$$ buying stuff and have never heard of BPI. Now I'll check them out and maybe buy from them. I'm always looking for good quality and good prices. They need to be advertising on's web site!! Danno
OneTonXJ said:Ok folks, before you go smashing down this company and that for "copying" some else's junk. Are you sure that the materials are the same? Are you sure that the manufacturing process is the same? Are you sure that the quality is the same? I can make the same thing that someone else does, but what happens when I make an improvement on it? Am I supposed to sell it for the same price as the inferior product with less time and materials? I'm not saying this is the case, but has anybody bought both these bumpers and laid them side by side to see the differences (if any)? I don't think we can bomb one company or another until that is brought out to the clear. Otherwise, it's just some people jumping on the bandwagon of someone else's point of view.

Despite what anyone what might say, what is ethical does not change just because you are wearing a suit and tie. Stealing something from a person or a business is the same - just because it is common or legal does not make it right. ... Any law can be circumvented in some way or another, so merely claiming legality does not make it right. Now since I'm only saying what has already been said, I'll be quiet...
