Clearly Preece needs to show us on the doll where the Australian touched him. It's obviously an attack on BJ and his company, especially considering the relationship and history. You can tell from the baffle geometry is not an exact rip off and most likely is not as effective as the Chad. But the construction is designed to mimic it at a cheaper price point. There is nothing else on the market that looked like the Chad.
If it was anyone else it probably wouldn't be as big of a deal. I think anyone buying the preece brake is a moron personally. You can get the real thing for like 90 bucks more. If price is an issue then there are half a dozen high performing brakes under $200. It's like buying a fake Louis Vuitton bag for $1800. For $2400 you can have the real thing. Retarded.
Try this. People in the community have long memories. You, being a prime example.
The launch of the Chad was a blunder, that really turned a lot of people off. Yes, BJ had a lot going on with injuries and getting moved out of the country, etc. but it doesn't change the fact that a lot of guys didn't get what they paid a lot of money for for a long time.
The Morgun King Edition brake was also a mess, and there are a number of guys who were friends with Morgun who felt like BJ just dragged his name through the mud, and it really pissed some people off.
Further, BJ's social accounts are kind of cringey, and it turns some people off
Baffle strikes. I know three guys who've had them. "Strike Every Baffle Without Warning".
A lot of people like Garrett. A lot of people don't like BJ. Go figure.
BJ has operated forever with weird payments. In 2022 when asking about a TMB, the payment was super vague, and seriously - who's operating a business with payments via Zelle? Just get stripe and a US bank account and pay taxes maybe? Garrett's always been a lot easier to buy from. Yes, BJ finally got a site up and a payment gateway but man, it felt shady for a long time.
What's more is that this isn't even the same design. It's just welded ports together. The Baffle stack is completely different. Comparing it to buying a fake Louis Vuitton bag? More like choosing to buy a Coach bag because screw having a bag covered in "LV", and you like the design of something else.
To top it off, Garrett actually manufactures his own stuff. BJ has other machine shops make his stuff
in the USA and then charges his own profits on top of it. His TMB costs to manufacture were upwards of $200, and he was always having issues finding machine shops to do it, so his production has been unstable at best. Garrett does the stuff in house, on his own equipment. Sheesh, BJ could have bought a CNC machine and run a business on it, but resorted to having other people do the work and charging a fortune, even for the TMB.
Maybe be a little less confused at other people making their own decisions for themselves based on what they want, who they want to support, and what kind of money they're willing to spend.
4L60e gonna do 4L60 things. I was gonna have them rebuild it to higher specs anyway to handle future engine mods. LM7 is easy to make go more horsepower-er.
