I've never understood why overlanders think if they've spent x thousands modifying the vehicle it makes it worth the same amount more than a standard unmolested vehicle

Yes.. Many people do think that. They learn fast though 
Second hand bolt ons and fabrications rarely keep their resale value. Talk about depreciation.
Thing is, the actual material cost of a sump guard is about £20 and would take a skilled fab/welder half a day to make from a piece of sheet.
Price in a plasma cutter, TIG welder, grinders, cutters, workshop, tools, clamps, polishers etc etc etc...... then it's HUGELY expensive.
That's why they cost £150-£200. Why Touratech ones cost £300 is another thread altogether
