dont you think that sounds exspensive but when landy guys pay it to get there 4x4 more capable that dictate what they are worth
thats why most scrapper/needing full restoration are fecting more than a grand now (where as a few years ago could be got for a couple of hundred)and look at all the extra work gone into them to have them shortened/new shafts all the suspension mounts done i dont think that sounds bad hell most landy owners pay more than that to keep there landys in diffs for a year
funny about mog parts being exspensive is mog owners dont see the bigger picture (like the bloke on pirate was getting abuse for selling crawler gears for $1500 was they worth it "must of been he sold all his sets" so hence all the german prices double because the yanks will buy a container load and pay the shipping because they WILL sell
its a supply and demand coulture if theres call for something then poeple will pay what they need to to have the best toy on the block
i know the mog owners will suffer in the long run(making certain parts almost imposible to get) but the upside is the development on cirtain parts that will improve the mog (like disc brakes,air/hydro steering kits , stronger portal box's/braces)
