Price gouging on spare parts
Below is my email to SmittyBilt.
To whom it may concern,
I am writing to you today in regards to my honest disgust in what is hands down price gouging for replacement parts.
I purchased the 10k lbs x20 winch with wireless remote.
I was quite pleased initially with the product.
I ended up losing the remote the first day on the trail. Completely my fault.
I inquired on getting a replacement and was appalled that the price of the remote is quite literally half the price ($250) of the winch package itself. I know I could have gotten a normal non wireless remote, but after only a day of owning the winch I wanted to make the setup whole again.
Yes I purchased the replacement.
But this experience has solidified my choice to NEVER purchase another SmittyBilt product again. I feel this is completely disrespectful to the 4x4 community and just plain wrong.
