they need to be simple like a 1 piece bushing not a 2 piece a 1 piece design would be easier and cheaper to make

Even more frustrating when I bought my set a month ago from Waller, with no lube.

No not really. We are talking about some plastic bushings not airplanes.
I think I'll go get some Uhmw bar stock and make my own bushings then give away all the plans for guys to build their own.

True, but I feel comfortable with a collar to wear instead of of the hinge and it keeps the door from moving up and down on the bushing, now I need to find out where all the racket is coming from in the bed?????

Originally $79.99 and now $55. Plus $2.50 "handling" charge.....which sounds a lot like a sneaky shipping charge but whatever. Shipping is never free, ever! So yea we are paying for shipping.
So are you bad at math or what? The picture doesn't lie...

So you're comparing your old price of 49 to their newly lowered price. Lol that's hysterical. The picture says pretty clearly retail was $79.99. They lowered it after people started to talk.
If you want to get technical the reality is you/they are selling two dollars worth of plastic for over $100. The UHMW bar stock cost me $2.50 per foot retail and it took me under 10 minutes to make all my bushings.
A guy was trying to find a more reasonable solution to his problems and You hacked his thread to push your own product that he already knew existed. In fact all you have done is use the site to push your products without ever offering any real support or contribution for betterment of the group. Which is fine. But dont expect people to fall for your marketing bulls***. Great product at a great price couldn't be further from the truth. The product is fine but you and I both know that saying it's a great price is a flat out lie.

Go ahead and post up your plans on those bushings. I had initially planned to build them myself but didn't have the time to locate and acquire the UHMW stock nor the means to turn it down in order to leave enough material for the collars without chucking it up in a drill.
Honetly I don't think this will happen now. The price for me to have the guy draw up the pieces in CAD and then have him setup the machine to run them, you might as well buy the wellar racing ones. I know it sucks, but it seems like more of a pain to deal with getting everyone's money and dealing with shipping.
Actually we did sponsor and have offered give a ways as well last year

While we all do appreciate you supporting us at takeover last year, door prizes etc. I believe he is saying that you don't actively participate in our forum except to push your products. You may recall, I was the one that called you out originally for selling your stuff without stepping up to be a vendor. I applaud that you did just that.
Having weller drop the price was a good move on your part, but sending us to buy from them, when they themselves are not registered as vendors just sucks. At least when we bought from you, you in turn supported us. In the end, supporting them supports you, which eventually supports us, just another middle man. And their handling charge is bulls***. Shipping and handling has historically been billed as a single line item. When I ship stuff to my customers at work, using their account, I don't bill them a handling charge. Even though it costs me money to box and skid product. Guess what, that is all worked into my per piece price when initially quoted.

Spoke to @93whitese-r and RB3 today. It's time to draw this thread to a close.
It comes down to more than some cheap plastic available at Lowes. There is time, design, machine, and other factors leading up to the final value of this item.
Now. If anyone wants 5000 of them maybe they will work out a deal.
RB3 is trying to be on our side here. They have worked with WR to help get the price reduced somewhat. But ultimately they are not in control.
I purchased 1 set and they work great. Going to order a second set now as the rear door storage mod requires them.
Sure there are few homemade options and I urge anyone to give it a go.
But if you want a spec door bushing that fits and works great buy these. They are well built and will last a lifetime.
