It's not the one you think. A customer came in wanting 2 mounts for
his Surburban and when I opened them up I counldn't believe it. The
one from India is nice looking and was packaged in plastic. The one
from the USA was not wrapped and the quality looks worst. What's up
with that??????

What's up with that is that India has some pretty decent metal fab
these days. And too many American companies are just churning out
the cheapest crap they can (just like lots of other folks).

The real question, though, is which one is higher quality material?
If you hit them both with a hammer, which one will break? This is
the kind of part where the fit and finish don't need to be very good
but the material does.

We shall find out. He purchased both. Hopefully he'll have the vehicle
